The choice between the two things you said above is no contest, obviously. I was actually under the impression that Australian authorities were not involved, and your daughter planned to simply fly there, say, "I'm taking the kids home with me", and hope for the best. Perhaps that was me reading too fast, perhaps there is too much info flying around this thread. Either way, my apologies.

As long as all your ducks are in a row, and the authorities are supervising and supporting the process, then there's no debate. I just wanted to ensure this trip wasn't being made 'for nothing', for lack of a better phrase, and that there was going to be a concrete benefit to going. Otherwise, you'd end up in a situation where you'd be flying to another country, engage in a tug of war, and the children simply get caught in the middle. But it looks like aside from the funds, you're all set.

Good luck.

No need to apologize.

I wouldn't spend my own money on a fly-by-night venture, I'm sure as hell not going to do it with other people's money. And if for some bizarre reason the whole thing falls through all donations would be refunded.
