Explanation:
One way of going about it. Look forward to is a standard closing greeting (at least in UK English) and I think it expresses the same idea in a way which sounds natural in English. We are really talking set phrases here.

Not to worry Claudia - the client's wishes are what it boils down to! And my suggestion with the responses to it are available for people to view (although you could add it to the glossary as an alternative if you want - I often include more than just the option I've chosen). ;-)

Notes to answerer

Asker: Yes, I know. A literal translation just doesn't work here. Thank you very much!

Asker: Hi Aceavila: I just wanted to let you know that even though I liked your answer best, I had to go with the other option, which keeps it closer to the original, because of issues I've had with this specific client. I wish we could award KudoZ points to more than one answerer. Thanks a million for your help!

Charles Davis: Can I join in? This is spot on. Looking at the context, since "sus hijos" has just been said you'll probably end up with "welcoming them back with us" for this bit.

-> Thanks Charles.

agree

neilmac: Yes. And as we say in Glasgow, the person who used "coadyuvar" in the original needs a good kicking :)

12 hrs

-> Yes. And am bemused to see it also on some cream my son has just been given for his "dermatitis atópica" ;-)

agree

Bubo Coroman (X): yes, they are after the children, not the parents' trust!!!

-> Je je, you've hit the nail on the head as always! Besos
