(Huffington Post) Russian-U.S. relations devolved last week after an American mother sent her 7-year-old adopted son back to Russia, alone, because, as she claimed in a letter she sent with the child, she was “lied to and misled by the Russian orphanage workers and director regarding his mental stability and other issues.” The story has spurred tremendous concern and discussion, in large part over the seeming assumption on the part of the adoptive mother that the boy could be returned to place-of-purchase, like a faulty television set. On a broader scale, though, the drama brings out the very particular anxieties that the people of Russia and the United States feel about international Adoption and forces us to focus, once again, on the confounding issues it raises.

After an American mother sent her 7-year-old adopted son back to Russia, Moscow said it was suspending adoptions to US families. A high level delegation from the U.S. State Department is scheduled to meet with Russian officials in Moscow on April 29 and 30. The officials will talk about how to better protect children and all parties involved in international Adoptions. For the moment though, many American families who have applied to adopt a Russian child worry about whether their adoption process will continue. VOA’s Elizabeth Lee has more details on the obstacles in U.S.-Russian Adoptions and what adoptive parents are saying about them.

In the 1940s, deeply-held ideologies had to be put to one side – for the sole aim of saving the world from the horrors of Nazism. Although decades of Cold War division were to follow, U.S. President Barack Obama told Russian political commentator Sergey Brilev, that the Soviet role should not be under-estimated.

Adoption was halted after a series of unfortunate events that resulted in Russian children being abused by American parents, the icing on the cake was when an 8-year old boy was sent back to Russia alone by his adoptive American mother.

I saw one post saying they should remain in their ‘new’ country. That russian child being fought over by the US and Russia. after such a devastating experience surely he needs what is familiar to him, ie Russia and perhaps the orphanage he was in before that bit*ch adopted him? he only left the place a few weeks ago. no country ‘owns’ a child but some people seem to think that they know what is best. what do u think? obviously it depends on the situation. but in this situation he should be left to stay in russia and never have to return to that place where he was treated like an unwanted puppy.

Yes. This has become an international "incident". Because of the media attention, this boy will be well taken care of by someone in his native country. Yes, you are correct- each situation is different.

The ramifications of Adoption disruption are mind-boggling. Disruptions do not only occur with international or older adoptees. They happen with infant domestic adoptions, too. So much for the "forever family" b.s., huh? While adoption disruptions are not "normal", neither is adoption. I pray that stories like this & that selfish pig Anita Tedaldi & other adoptoraptors who return their adoptive children will continue to shed light on the fact that raising a stranger’s child is not even close to raising your own flesh and blood.

I’ve already asked this in the Adoption section but I thought that I would ask it here too, with added detail.

What are your views on interracial/International Adoption?
As in white people adopting black babies, asian babies, etc. Black people adopting white babies, Asian babies, etc. A person of one nationality adopting someone of another nationality, etc.

Do you worry at all about the complications of taking someone out of their their racial/national heritage or culture or community?

It goes beyond the color issue, though that would be where more significant and visual issues would arise. What about an person/couple adopting a child from another country or continent even where there is potentially a different heritage/background and how would that affect the whole process?

I ask this as I am reading "White Teeth" which deals heavily with identity and how a person finds/shapes/comes to terms with that identity, especially when one is obviously different from one’s peers.

I’ve also overheard someone talking about the strange looks (on both sides, white and black) his family would get because they look white with an adopted black child.

I’ve also seen questions regarding whether a seemingly "white" name might cause a black/mixed child to become alienated within the black community.

(also on the margins of the issue is the recent events involving an American couple adopting a Russian child, but this is only marginally relevant if even at all, I only know the basic facts and question whether I should include it at all, but what the hay)

SO, how do you feel/think about the matter?

If the african child come from a poor country, then he will have a better future in the white kid’s country. But the problem is he will not know his heirtage/ people and may feel his whole life like a stranger and his white parents can give him only their culture. The same problem with asian kids!

Hi i know there a lot about this but I just want to know when this happened because I read the Article on CNN and it doesn’t say the exact date so i just wanted to know if anyone knows thanks.
I know it happened last week I just want to know if anyone knows the exact date such as a Monday or Friday.

I believe the Russian government announced the decision on Wednesday the 14th of April.
It was widely reported on Thursday.
