[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 352821, member: 1157"] I was just going to post this . The story is on MSNBC, too: [url]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36322282/ns/world_news-europe/[/url] I don't know much about adoption law, let alone international adoption law, but, it's not like a puppy you take back to the shelter where you got it if you don't want it after adopting it. If the parents legally adopted the child, and truly wanted to give him up because they couldn't handle him, couldn't they have gone through social services, and put him into foster care here in the U.S.? Or is that not how it would work? The story definitely made me think of so many parents here who have adopted kids who ended up having some pretty severe issues. I understand the frustration, and even the fears, of the parents in the article, but there is no excuse for how they handled this. Russia has a right to be furious, especially if this is but one of many issues with adoptions from there. Of course, I'm sure there is more to the story that isn't being written about yet, too.
