I especially recommend they visit the Russian orphanages designated to handle special needs kids- mostly called “imbecile asylums” in Russia
and of course, Russians are lined up to adopt these “social undesirables” (not)
the good part of this US legislation- force the Russian govt to be more honest about the social and medical history of the children made available for foreign adoption. People should have the right to known if children come from bipolar/schizophrenic/alcoholic/drug abusing/child molesting birth families
Part of the adoption screening process ought to be spending time volunteering in a rehab facility with these kids
Force the adoption agencies to do a better job of screening people for parenthood of damaged children, it sure isn't sunshine and roses. Single parenthood of kids like this is almost a sure recipe for disaster, the Russians should stop it since America won't
Somebody needs to ask Russia what they do with they orphaned kids at age 16. Answer: They give them a few bucks, put their backpacks on them and gently shove them out the door of the orphanage into the streets where over 40% of them end up in drugs and prostitution. Its horrible.
My brother in law and his wife have adopted 3 kids most recently a 14 year old as they just couldn’t bear the thought that this sweet,studious, smart kid would end up on the streets.
