4. I try not be be culturally biased.
It seems as though there are other issues though. As a mom myself and also as someone with a lot of experience with children professionally (I have a degree in early childhood education), I'd be a little concerned as to what effect this would have on your daughter. To be separated at that age from the people who are her primary care givers could be a little difficult and possibly traumatic IMHO.
I honestly don't know what to tell you other than having children often entails sacrifices on many levels- both personal and professional. You have to do what you have to do sometimes in life and children are resiliant, but make sure you remember what's best for her as well during the process of deciding all this.
