Moscow and Washington have agreed upon basic norms of new measures to regulate the adoption of Russian children by Americans. However, the talks have been extended until Friday evening.
There must be something we do not know that is at play in the "foriegn policy" of adopting Russian babies [another START Treaty of a sort]!. I have never seen another modern nation that speaks its children as though they are gas/oil that can be used to win friends for Russia! Since I am not Russian, there is nothing I can say about this. Only I think there something sad about this whole thing. The nation, it seems, cannot keep its own house in order. RT is also running ad for how to make friends in Russia as a foreigner. Why not add one about how to adopt Russian babies for rich foreigners!
Don't ever let a child go to a single parent. It just isn't normal for somebody single, like me, to want a child. I would totally forbid this circumstance, no matter what nationality the child is. Education level of both parents should be better than just a high school diploma too.
This is a disgrace!!! a country like Russia that claims it needs to increase it's population should never allow children to be adopted abroad....Americans if they need to adopt children have thousands of children across the border in Mexico, but these racists are looking for white children ...Can't you raise your own citizens even if they are orphans? Give these poor children a decent home in their own country where they belong....you can afford to pay 4th. rate American basketball players and make them citizens to play on your national team, you can start being serious about your children.
DC, it's not a perfect world. Single parents are everywhere. It's difficult to place a child with one, however, because of how fragile the situation is if at first financial, especially the burden of a child not biologically of the person that he or she goes to. As for placing standards, it should be on living because, in the US, that will determine the fate of the being. It was ludicrous that a child was placed with somone who was obviously mentally ill. Several parties share the guilt for that one. Given the system, I would think it wiser for the children to remain in Russia where they have a chance after their younger years -- only a fraction of their lives. It's not like that system is as limited. I suppose it is as a whole afterwards in the sum, but for the ordinary person, there is a greater chance of what the universal declares "success."
As evidence by the language used in this short report posted at the Russian state media outlet that runs RT, this deal will see the "steady supply" of Russian children to U.S white middle class parents. The only point that makes sense is that this will help Russia’s geopolitical relation with the U.S. As cynical as this might sounds, it is only idea that makes since in the face of high rate of murders of Russian children in the U.S. But if these children do not learn Russian, their Russian names are erased and are raised with the U.S racialist values, how would they help Mother Russia? There are already millions of Russians in the U.S and their presence in the U.S did not help Mother Russia during the Cold War or after the collapse of the Soviet Union. So why are Russian authorities risking humiliating the national image of Russia with this dubious deals that create legal cover what is basically mass trafficking of abandoned children from Russia to the U.S. Russia is now a land of small class of the filthy rich and massive poverty. This was also the way of life of Russia under imperial Russia era. So, the only period of decent standard of living for all Russian was during the Soviet rule. During the USSR rule, Russia was built into global power. Now, 20 years after the collapse of the USSR, Russia is exporting its children to the U.S! http://en.rian.ru/russia/20100618/159475465.html
Whats with all this adoption nonsense. As if Russia has the population to spare. What more, was informed of the bureaucracy of internal adoption and how many Russian under go years of red tape which seems not to be present for adoptions from abroad. The Russians should be debating on how to give these kids a home in Russia instead of abroad.
