Child doesn't meet reqiurments of the mother, shipped back to Russia.

[Centurion1]

I want abortions performed around the 12-16 weeks mark, when the fetus is basically a lump of cells. This is largely because of the mothers health.

But I do support late-term abortions as well, but for a different reason, as those are never performed "just because the mother doesn't want the child". It's always because of some extraordinary event, and because of that they are very rare.

EDIT: But I have no desire to discuss abortion further. This is my stance. We could discuss it for months, and it will remain unchanged, just as your stance will remain unchanged. There is no "abortion debate", as there is no other alternative but to agree to disagree.

neither do i, its really not worth it at all.

Several Catholic priests would disagree with you on this one.

Im catholic.

This isn't nearly as disgusting as that dutch ambassador couple that treated their adopted kid as social juwelry and dumped her afterwards, how the hell could you do such a thing. Thank god it costed them everything they care about and Jade found a loving home, their social network and dito party's finito.

[CrossLOPER]

This woman had no right to abandon the child.

[Centurion1]

and this is a sad day for all the poor people who try so very hard to get adopted children and wait years for the privilege. which is what it is, a privilege.

Mildly offensive, without your usual veering sense of humor. Not your best DD.

He did hit the humour nerve on this european liberal though....

[Mooks]

In all fairness though the kid's picture does make him out to be a evil-looking kid.

Come on, this is funny. Atleast I didn't mention what you get in the combo meal or the toy inside of the box. I'm just glad you didn't delete this one because when you delete my posts it makes me... well, you know...

CBS news reported that Russia has suspended all adoptions by prospective US adoptive-parents following this incident.

She definitely shouldn't have put a 7 y.o. on a transatlantic flight by himself. The rest is difficult to discuss due to lack of specific information.

The American parents of an adopted Russian boy will stand trial on charges that they beat and starved him to death, a judge has ruled.

Michael and Nanette Craver were charged with criminal homicide and child endangerment after their 7-year-old son, Nathaniel, died in August 2009 from multiple injuries. Magistrate Judge Richard Thomas ruled that local Pennsylvania prosecutors had presented enough evidence to put the Cravers on trial, and he set a date to begin in September.

Nathaniel, who was adopted in 2003 at age 18 months, had about 80 injuries to his head and other parts of his body and had negligible body fat when he died in a Pennsylvania hospital, an autopsy found.
Dr. Wayne Ross, a forensic pathologist who conducted the autopsy, told the hearing that Nathaniel's body had just one millimetre of subcutaneous fat, no muscle tone and a prominent rib cage.
"He looked like he was starved to me," Dr Ross said.
Nathaniel died from complications of traumatic brain injury and "severe failure to thrive" as a result of starvation, the coroner's report said.
Russia halted adoptions to the United States this month after a Tennessee woman sent her 7-year-old adopted Russian son back to Moscow alone, with a note in his pocket saying that he was no longer wanted because he was violent and threatened to burn down the family home.

Sergey Logachev, senior consul at the Russian Consulate General in New York who attended the hearing, said that Russian officials were holding talks with their American counterparts to seek tighter controls over US adoptions after a string of abuse cases among Russian children adopted by Americans.
"It's very important to provide security for adopted children, and to provide control over their living conditions," Mr Logachev said.

More adoption drama.

Are adopting parents sufficiently screened?

[Spartakus]

The kid being sent back is not the problem here but the fact that he was sent to this woman in the first place. It's not like he'd benefit from growing up with somene like her for mother so the kid is probably better off being sent back.

[Husar]

I'm a bit late to the party but looks like the woman should have had a look at babiesovernight.com

And Spartakus is right, it's even worse than being allowed at work after going to court with your boss over it, that always makes me think work after something like that has to be horrible. But when a "mom" does not want to have you but has to keep you anyway, how bad must that be?
