We're in the beginning stages of an adoption, gathering paperwork and haven't decided on a country yet. We have three children (12, 8, and 2), and are faced with this problem. This is the only thing holding us back from Kazakhstan.
That said, we did take our two older children to China when we adopted our daughter (now 2). I know there's a huge difference between the in country process in China and Kazakhstan, but in terms of travel, our kids did very well on the long flight, with the food, in the strange environment. They were also the first ones to bond with their new little sister. The biggest drawback was cramming all 5 of us into one room in Chinese hotels with their very narrow and short beds.
Our agency is encouraging of family travel. If we weren't worried about airfare cost for 5 round trip tickets, we wouldn't hesitate.
