I was hoping someone can give my DH and I some advice. We have just signed our placement contracts with our agency and noted that during our trips to Russia we are required to carry huge amounts of cash to give directly to the Russian co-ordinator. I am very happy with the agency we are using, they are very trustworthy, but I am very nervous about carrying huge amounts of cash while travelling (it is not a practice my DH and I usually think is very sensible!). I am well aware that this is very common when adopting from Russia. Can anyone give me any personal experiences or advice on the best way to handle this situation?
Thanks so much!
