[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 587099, member: 3419"] I totally agree, 12 is too old, especially for Russia, which, regardless of propaganda, has proven over and over again, that their orphans have bioparents who abuse drugs and alcohol. Too many Americans have been saddled with-no-win situations because of the damage done to these kids. Definitely, social wkrs should tell adoptive parents that there are risks that come with-adoptions over a certain age, and from a certain culture. The bmom we worked with-(American) absolutely did not want her son to go into foster care for all of the reasons we have discussed many times on this board. She wanted him to bond immediately. So many bmoms don't get a chance to voice their wishes. But yeah, I think most people who read this story will figure out the truth. This kid was totally ready to live on the streets at 12 and the fact that he took off should surprise no one. [/QUOTE]
