A child inside a box is a symbolically fitting rendition signifying how Russian children came to be sold in the adoption market as a commodity. The best way Russia can protect its children is to keep them home. Russia needs to tighten its adoption laws and never allow citizens of a nation it does not have adoption treaty to adopt Russian children. If the Russians cannot do this for themselves why do they would expect a foreign country would provide better care for Russian children than Russia itself. As the economy inside Russia improves[despite the crisis] this problem will be significantly reduced in the meantime, the moratorium banning adoption of Russian children by the citizens of a country or countries Russia does not have adoption treaty with must be fully enforced according the letter of law.

There are all types of people - good and bad in both Russa and the U.S.  There are many, many children waiting to be adopted.  Its inevitable and unfortunate some will be adopted by bad parents.  Many, many more will be adopted by overjoyed parents will love them and give them a good life.   Adoption treaties do nothing to prevent bad parents from adopting children - they are political tools used by politicians to convince people they are working for them.  Is it better to prevent all children from the possibility of living in a home with loving caring parents or forcing them all to live with no parents in a orphanage?  The system of detecting problems worked in this instance.
