News Breaking Story: Russian Adoptive Child Returned on 1-Way Flight
Seven-year-old Artyom, adopted some six months ago and renamed Justin, flew to Moscow on April 8. His adoptive mother sent him with a backpack and a strong message to the Russian Ministry of Education. Tory Hansen’s letter indicated she did not want to parent this child any longer because he was psychotic. Ms. Hansen accused the orphanage of lying to her about the boy’s conditions. She has not been charged with any illegal actions for not following the proper channels to disrupt her adoption. Russia is outraged at her bold retaliatory actions after they granted her parentshhip. The issue of U.S. couples adopting Russian children has become controversial in Russia in recent years, following the deaths of two children in separate incidents in the U.S. state of Virginia.

Check out the Russian Databank of adoptable children
at AdoptionHarmony.com/russian-data-bank.
The Russian Data Bank: Use the translate function on your computer for each page or try using the English version offered. Selections offered are age range, eye and hair color, gender, sibling set and region of Russian Federation. Although it is illegal to use photographs on the computer to show the orphans according to Russian law, they have listed them publicly with US access. Children on the data bank are often adopted by US citizens via US adoption agencies. Families often find their referrals on this site even after they have been adopted. It is interesting to look at the Russian Data bank, to say the least, and very sad to see how many children would benefit from a loving family. Maybe if you look, you will find a child that inspires you to adopt in Russia.
