What would happen to a child born into a family with this very same scenario. They would be responsible for placing him in a mental institution right? Why is this any different. This is wrong. You don’t get to ‘turn your kid back in’ just because he’s defective.

This is an adoption not a birth.

There were representations made and if proven, there was fraud involved. What about the american end of the equation? Where is their due diligence?

Adoption is a legal fiction created legislativly there is no common law equivalent so the law is very specific and narrow. You may balk at children being a product for a contract but that is the real world.

Exactly

I couldn't agree with you more. We have an adopted 9year old from China, adopted at age one, and there has been some attachment issues bit overall she is a wonderful child. OUR child once we adopted her. If an issue arises we deal with it because she is our child, same as our other biological child. People can do what is called “disrupt” a foreign adoption, basically give the child back but in a legal way and done legally. I couldn't Imagine anyone ever doing that but it's legal. You don't just put the kid back on a plane to Russia. And you don't have to give any reason why you want to disrupt, so it's not like she was forced to parent the child. Either way, a Russian orphanage or what this “mother” did to him has helped to create one more deviant in society, unless something is done quickly to help him. If your mother would send you onto a plane to Russia at age7 alone to Russia, how was she treating you at home? And arson is usually a sign of sexual abuse in young children, and most professionals who deal with these children k ow this. He should have been given treatment here for his behavior, it can be free if you can't pay. My daughter's adoption adoption was finalized in China at the US consulate, new immigration law at the time made her a US citizen upon coming to this country. If this boy is a citizen, where are his rights?
