We have a 3 year old daughter and are thinking about bringing her to Russia with us. Our agency suggests that both parents go on the 1st trip (to see the baby and if need be to change the referral).
2nd trip only one is required (this is what our agency said).
We would be flying into St. Petersburg.
Has anyone brought there child with them? We would not feel comfortable leaving her with anyone, so we either take her on trip #1 or we can't adopt from Russia (we feel this strongly).
Can anyone let me know. Also, is it safe to drink the water and eat the food in Russia?
