don't agree brign your daughter home to CHina, it's definitely not good for that child, not only the language is a problem, but also the environment, she will feel "lost" in China. It's really not much choice for you now, let your husband go alone back to China and try to get used to the enviroment, not all the people can really quickly get used to it or like it when they go back to China after lived in CA for long time. Don't let any older people look after your kid, no matter how good friends they are, they are still not the child's parents and they can not treat your child like their own. Also, your child is soon to the "qing chun qi", it's a crucial time that parents need to be there, otherwise, the kid will turn out to be a person that you will regret your whole life. I have seen examples and felt very sorry for both parents and their kids.
