Russian adoption ban and its impact on children and families

Russian adoption ban and its impact on children and families

The article I chose was from NBC News and The Associated Press titled Boy sent back to Russia, adoption ban urged.  This particular article was last updated on April 9, 2010. This particular article details the situation of a 7 year-old boy, who was put on a flight from Washington to Moscow, by himself, to be returned to his adoptive country.  He had been adopted by a family in Tennessee and they no longer wanted to parent the child.  This decision resulted in strong feelings internationally and domestically about foreign adopted children and families and supports. Additionally, on an even larger scale, the Russian and US Governments were involved in this situation.
