Awww...I feel for you. This must be a difficult decision. I agree with MandiesMom that it might be a good idea to get settled in NY first. That way, little Itzel doesn't have to deal with the stress of the move. Moving is already stressful enough for a human. It's wonderful that your family has been willing to take care of her while you have been studying and working. Do you think they would let you take Itzel to NY for a few months "trial" period? Maybe give both of you some time together to see if she will be happy in NY? It's such a difficult decision to make without having spent a lot of consecutive time with her the past few years. I do believe that you'll be able to create a happy, loving home for her. But just in case Itzel doesn't adjust well to her new environment, at least you'd have a back up plan. I wish you the best of luck in your decision. I know it's a tough one.
