Russia News
One of the leading stories in Russian news is the potential freeze that the President of Russia could possibly input on adoptions to the United States. This story hit Russian news just after it was reported that this is something that the country of Russia may be considering, after a nurse by the name of Torry Anne Hansen of Tennessee, sent her seven-year-old adoptive son on a one way flight alone, from Washington, D.C., back to Moscow, Russia. The Russia news circuit has stated that, not only did the mother send him on a flight alone, but she sent the child with a note in his backpack, stating that she no longer wanted to parent the child. The Russia news circuit also went on to say that the note stated that the adoptive mother continued on with the note by saying that the boy is violent and has severe psychopathic issues. Russian news has also gone on to report that in the note, Hansen also accused the orphanage about not telling her the truth about the boys condition, referring to the fact that she believed him to be mentally unstable. The Russia news sources said that when the boy arrived on the scene, he was greeted by a man that was hired for $200 to bring him to the Russian Science and Education Ministry Building.
Russian news is reporting that the reason why the child was taken from his original home was due to the fact that his mother suffered from alcohol drinking problems. Russian news reports that it has been a year since the boy was removed from his home. Russian news reports that the very next step for the child is to be placed in an orphanage. In the meantime, the boy is slated to continue to undergo routine check-ups.
When the Russia news circuit made its announcement that there will be a potential freeze on American adoptions, this drew upon a number of different reactions. As the Russia news sources had originally reported this, many were not surprised to see that Russia felt the need to consider doing so. The Russian news has made previous reports in the past of instances where Russian adoptive children have had bad experiences at the hand of a few of the American adoptive parents. Then there were those that heard this story in Russian news and felt that although the issue should be addressed for the safety of the children, this Russian adoption should not come to a freeze altogether. Due to this strong overwhelming feeling by so many, the latest to Russia news is the fact that many are coming together to express this view. Russia news has just reported a tremendous effort that is being led by a number of American adoption advocates and the Joint Council on International Children’s Services. In fact, Russian news has just reported that there is a petition that has been formulated in order to express this view. The Russia news circuit says that a huge part of the petition features statements from those who are currently expecting to adopt a child from Russia. Although Russian news has not reported an official announcement of a freeze, this prospect has many Americans worried. The Russia news circuit reports that there are over 3,000 Americans that currently have contracts pending to adopt a Russian child, and many just hope their dreams are not shattered.
