we paid the expedited fee. See our time frames in my signature.
We did not really experience "greasing the hands" in Kaz.
I have a 51 year old friend in Kaz right now bonding with a 16 month old boy. She was changed from another region that would only allow her to adopt a 3 to 4 year old. So it depends on where you are going and your worker should know where these regions are.
I made one long trip and recommend it to anyone who has this as a possible option. My husband did not stay the entire time and I felt really safe in country.
We traveled KLM coach. We took our boys with us to Kaz so with the expense of them, business class was never an option and things went well for us in coach. Very pleased.
