if the orphanage straight up knew about the illness that kid had and withheld it during the adoption, the mother should have a right to back out. because that’s not something you don’t tell someone. that the kid is nuts and dangerous. don’t get me wrong, i’m adopted and thankful for it, but adopting parents deserve all the information they can get so that they can create the best family possible. i mean look what happened, the woman didn’t know what she was getting into and caused a bigger problem than if she had been able to say from the get go that she didn’t want a crazy kid.
and there are people out there who want to adopt children with these problems. i know a woman who specifically adopts abused children because she’s good at rehabilitating them and loving them as much as they need.

What is women calling other women ‘cunts’ as though there is something wrong with female genitalia?

I am not on the mother’s side. Having a child or adopting one is not something that one can reverse as easily as returning it or walking away from it. BUT, why are we not hearing more disapproval for the Russian government or agency for purposely deceiving adopting families by giving them false information? Do they really think that this is the solution? I’m sure there are plenty of orphans without mental problems they can send to foreign adopting families. I would think you’d want to present your best so you’d appear credible and honorable to the world.

Imagine you are told you are getting one thing and you open the box to find that you were lied to. Now imagine that deception has huge consequences in all lives touched by it.

I think the woman should be Cunt of the week really. Adopting a child should be exactly like having a child. If you can handle the problems they may bring don’t have them or do not adopt them. If being a good mother is conditional to how cute and how healthy a kid is, she’s clearly unfit.

I think she’s wrong. If you have the need to adopt, you should make sure you have enough love for whatever comes of it. That’s how biological parenting works- you don’t have a returns desk.
Having found the means and ability to undergo adoption, could she not use the same resources to secure help and support? And qualified intervention-?
I think she’s wrong and probably mentally and emotionally delayed herself. So WTF was she doing taking on a child?
Adoption Agency #FAIL
Airline and immigration authorities #FAIL

i’m a radio listener and today on cbc… there was a piece on the haitian children that have recently been adopted into canadian families. there is some sort of program here where adoptive families can attend classes and have counseling about the adoption basically until the child is an adult. i can’t see people making it through these situations otherwise. especially when the child is from another country.

@Helonwheels
I didn’t put judgment into someone’s words–I’ve read tons of comments on many blogs saying the kid got what he deserves because he is from a Russian orphanage, so naturally he must be nuts. I didn’t say the comments were made here, but they exist and that’s the general air. You are calling the kid a sociopath when you haven’t gotten the full story. All the news sites have only been reporting on the words of the mother and the grandmother. Don’t you think that’s hell of a judgment to make when you’re hearing only the story of a woman who put a kid on a plane and sent him back like a defective purchase? I would take anything she says with a grain of salt, but maybe I’m too judgmental…

Just to give us some perspective here is a link to a beautifully and painfully written article by another blogger who had to give her adopted child back – there is even a word for it, it’s called ‘disruption’ http://www.anymommyoutthere.com/2008/07/disruption-failed-moms-look-back.html
