Russian FM against any ban on US adoptions - San Jose Mercury News - Whatever Things Are True: the Good, the Bad and the Beautiful in the World of International Adoption

Welcome

Thanks for stopping by! Whatever Things Are True covers politics, policy, and parenting in international adoption. Too often, the way we talk about international adoption reminds me of that old fable about The Blind Men and the Elephant – we tend to confuse one small part of the animal for the whole beast. Although I’m the mother of three via international adoption, I try to take a child-centered approach to adoption issues. I hope you’ll stick around and share your thoughts, too.

Russian FM against any ban on US adoptions - San Jose Mercury News

MOSCOW—Russia's foreign minister on Tuesday strongly criticized a proposal in the country's parliament that would ban Americans from adopting Russian children.

Sergey Lavrov's comments—along with criticism of the proposal by other ministers—appeared to indicate pressure from the highest level for the State Duma to reject the proposal or eliminate it from discussion.

A retaliatory measure that passed its first reading in the Russian Duma last week calls for establishing a blacklist of Americans judged to have violated the human rights of Russians. Officials had said that would include those who abuse adopted Russian children.
