[QUOTE="donna723, post: 352856, member: 1883"] Here's the story from the Nashville Tennessean. They claimed that he was dangerous and mentally unstable and that the child had been misrepresented to them by the authorities. I didn't read through the whole article yet but it sounds like it was single woman who adopted the child and then she was completely unable to handle it. Apparently it was this woman's mother who put the boy on a plane back to Russia. Even under the best of conditions an international adoption of a child this age is something that would require a tremendous amount of counseling and support, much less a child that was institutionalized most of his life and may hve mental illness on top of it all. It doesn't sound like this woman had any idea what she was getting in to. I still don't understand why they didn't try to get help for him here. There's no excuse for just putting this poor child on a plane and sending him back like a dog to the pound! Not that it's good to do with a dog either ... just saying [/QUOTE]
