International child relocation
There may be different reasons why you feel a move away will provide the best possible future for your children and for benefit you and your child; perhaps it is to return to your home-town close to your family and friends, perhaps for a job offer that will provide fantastic opportunities or perhaps to a place that offers superior education/health provision/lifestyle; all three examples could be a huge benefit for your child (directly or indirectly).
