[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 587021, member: 14557"] In foreign adoption you always have to remember, that every country tries to find adoptive families inside the country first. If that is not possible, then foreign adoption is possible. That is also true to Russia. Healthy babies are adopted by Russians themselves. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) kids (and there are lots of those in Russia) and older kids don't find domestic homes and those are adopted abroad. Though Russia is limiting that quite a lot lately for domestic politics reasons. In Russia they like to use foreign politics a tool in domestic politics. And Russians are very patriotic and love emotional patriotic stories and milk everything out of them. Russia has huge domestic problems, financial, human rights etc. And well educated middle class young Russians are starting to flee. To cover those from voters, and to keep people from leaving, the government has some time now liked to use children-stories. Both those about kids adopted to USA and abused and mistreated by their adopted parents and those about 'racist' CPS-involvements and 'robbing kids' from Russian families living abroad. Many of those stories are far from true, but they take voters attention out of their domestic issues and make their leaders look strong, when president or prime minister takes a strong stand to protect Russians abroad.
