Orphan Abuse Case in Russia Prompts Call for Public Oversight by Jonathan Earle – A quote from the end of the article: “Many child welfare advocates condemned the Kremlin’s decision to ban U.S. adoptions as of Jan. 1, arguing that growing up in a family — even in the United States, where at least 19 out of 60,000 Russian adoptees have died in the past two decades — was better than growing up in state care. The Amur scandal seemed likely to rekindle this criticism, which Astakhov said was absurd. ‘Only a paranoiac could link one to the other. We’re solving our problems. How could Americans help us, you tell me?'” Okay, I will–by providing loving homes to orphans. Why is this so hard to understand??
