Just an interesting flashback to 2012:
President Vladimir V. Putin signed a bill on Friday that bans the adoption of Russian children by American citizens, dealing a serious blow to an already strained diplomatic relationship. But for hundreds of Americans enmeshed in the costly, complicated adoption process, the impact was deeply personal.
Moscow is willing to open talks with the U.S. about lifting a 4-year-old ban on Americans adopting Russian children, the speaker of Russia’s upper house of parliament said Wednesday.
“We are ready for dialogue,” Valentina Matvienko said, providing the U.S. could guarantee the welfare of Russian adoptees, the Russian news agency TASS reported.
“Everything can be changed back,” she said…
So what changed between 2012 and 2017, that affected the safety of Russian Children that found their way to the US through the adoption process? And why was it that after just one year of President Donald Trump, Russia openly said, “Everything can be changed back.”
You have to wonder.
The evidence definitely seems to point in one direction.
The surgeon who did my rotator cuff surgery was going through the process of adopting a Russian baby when I was seeing him. Seemed like a great guy you would never think nefarious things of, but damn…how can you ever know for sure? I definitely know more these days than I did in the mid-2000s.
actually the russians said that before donald even took office, but after the election result was known.
I doubt if Putin would want Russian children being adopted by homosexuals and all the risks involved with that.
