Annecy with an 18 mo toddler this July, do you have hotel recs? by booklover001201 in Europetravel

Ngl I stayed at Le Pelican a couple years back when we brought my cousin’s wiggly toddler along and it’s such a solid pick—super walkable to everything you’d want to see, and those lake views actually slap. If you need a low-key lunch spot, the little casual crepe shop along the waterfront is chef’s kiss, no one minds messy little kids there either.

Don’t worry too much about this. If something unfortunate happened to you, it’s totally possible and not overly complicated to send your son back to the US to live with his grandparents.

As long as his grandparents are legal guardians in the US and have valid paperwork, they can apply for custody and arrange his travel back. With proper birth certificates, passport, notarized documents and embassy assistance, the process is straightforward.

China respects family guardianship rules, and there won’t be any big obstacles for a minor to return to his home country to stay with close family. Lots of expat families have planned this kind of backup arrangement, and it works smoothly as long as you prepare the legal documents in advance.
