Adoption Options is aware of Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov’s recommendation to put a freeze on adoptions to American families until Russia and the USA sign an international agreement on the conditions for adoptions. This urging from the Foreign Minister comes after the news that an 8-year-old adopted Russian boy was sent alone on a one-way flight back to Russia with a note from his adoptive mother saying that she was returning him due to severe psychological problems.
Despite these events, adoptions were completed on Friday and today and Russian adoptions have not been officially closed. We are monitoring the situation closely and will update all of you if anything changes.
Our Executive Director, Brent Yoder, met with the KUSI San Diego local news team to discuss the situation in Russia. The segment will air today at 6pm and at 10 pm on KUSI Channel 9.
