Nearly 2 years ago, Russia abruptly terminated international adoption to the United States, as well as expelled American NGO's working in orphanages. Many families who were already in process were prevented from completing their adoptions, leaving behind children whom they had already met. Russia's Children's Ombudsman promised that all these children will be well taken care of domestically, including the numerous children with special needs.
Seems that, ahem, more work needs to be done....
