LOL made me laugh as well! OP I have adopted 6 children from around the world and let me tell you that after you have gone through the process in china the last thing you want to do is have a hassle on the way home. The bassinet really isn't an option at the age you are adopting - so you need a seat - especially if this is your first! Trust me - you won't regret it and a few weeks after coming home you will forget how much you spent - we did!
If money is an issue then fly economy plus - otherwise get the business seat and stop worrying about it.... You will never forget your flight home as long as you live - and it has nothing to do with which cabin you are sitting in!
