Here is a valuable new resource from ICAV (Inter Country Adoptee Voices):

“Tips and Suggestions for Returning to Birth Country.”

Per ICAV: This resource includes “insight from intercountry adoptees from 18 birth countries (Canada, China, Chile, Colombia, Ethiopia, Greece, Haiti, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Lebanon, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Vietnam) sent to 9 adoptive countries (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Netherlands, Sweden, UK, USA). 

Our paper aims to better equip adoptees with the knowledge and tools to navigate this journey. It also serves as a validation of the complex feelings adoptees may experience and provides a roadmap to help prepare for and process the return journeys.”

Take a look at these Tips and Suggestions, as well as all the many resources at ICAV.
