Wait, you guys are talking saying goodbyes to a dog... for the dog's sake. Let
me save your the stress.
Whether you bid adieu or not, when you walk out the door, Rover is going to lick himself, go take a dump, followed by a nap.
Goodbyes to a dog for the dogs mental health?

Just sit down with the dog and have a long chat to explain the whole situation. I'm sure he/she will understand

Be sure to tell the dog it was adopted, best to knock out both surprises at once

I don’t think they understand at all. If you say goodbyes it will get them anxious because it’s not part of the routine.

The right way to do it (if you are worried)... is to let the dog stay with them on short visits, and work your way up.

Shouldn’t they move in w/the kids & then slowly move out with small trips home?

Well the OP was whether it's traumatic to the dog. I love other people's dogs,

Treating dogs like humans can cause all sorts of problems. According to Cesar

Don't burden the kids with that. Just take the dog to the grocery store
