we had so many Marriott points saved and a bunch of freq flier miles we thought we were going to really save a lot of money.
In the end we got our referrals from Vladivostok and our agency does not even have you fly into Moscow when you adopt from the Far East. We never got to use the Marriott points for the adoption (although we did get to take a nice family vacation with them later - so not all was lost) as there was not a Marriot in Vlad. As for the freq flier miles. We had so little notice we could not use them at all trip one - we did get to use them trip 2 and that saved us a lot of money, but it was disappointing that all our savings didnt help much towards our bottom line!
