Hi Everyone
   My name is Tom and I'm from Boston,Ma. I was divorced last year ( 3 boys who live with their mom) and out of curiosity (from a t.v. show I saw) I started to visit differnet agencies web sites. I have wriiten to a few women ...I was a little bit skeptical.....but still enjoyed the experience. I have learned a few things but mostly that it is possible to find someone. I have become more serious about this and thats what has brought me to this forum. I "belong" to 2 agencies, Svetlana Agency - Pretty Russian Brides and For Russian women.com. Any feedback on these site would be apperciated.....Or can anyone recommend any better (and safe) sites.
I'm sure these question have been asked before so I apologize for repeating them.......but thanks for and advice.

Check out the CMA should be your first move, then come back here & read lots.
It can be found here: http://www.certifiedmarriageagencies.org/index.php?pid=2
And welcome o the board.

Tom,

Off the top of my head I think there are better agencies to use but mostly because the ones you are naming I rarely if ever hear mentioned.   Read the forums here and you will find comments about good agencies.  You can learn a lot here and it will save you both money and disappointment.

Welcome Tom,

 Do some searches on "agency" and read through the trip reports. There is plenty of information both good and bad to help steer you on the right path.

Stay away from the romantic group tours and the big agencies that run them. Overfished in most major cities, their reputations have preceded them. I think you can find several discussions on this board.

Hey Tom,

Welcome to RWD!

Like you I'm a newbie and will be heading off on my first trip to FSU in about a month...  There's plenty of great advice here and a ton of help for people like you and me.

I wish you luck in your journey and would encourage you to check out the archives and ask MANY questions.  This is an excellent place to iron out much of the mystery surrouonding Russian and Ukrainian women.

Cheers!

(Oh, which agencies???  Some people answered above and I only have experience with Elena's Models.  Was very happy and would encourage you to have a look.  Keep in mind some agency owners are members of this board too...  Checking out their posts and getting an understanding of them is probably as good a way as any to decide if you'd like to use their agencies)

I feel that William3rd has summed it up pretty good.

Try and stay away from the big companys.

Also, try and stay away from the big citys.

They are overfished and the women have becomed westernized to a point.

Kiev & Odessa are beautiful citys and well worth seeing even for a social but the women in them are not like small town ladies.

Thanks
