There is a mindset in this country, where couples picture the perfect cookie-cutter children, then go ape-feces when the kids turn out to be human beings and real kids. Kids have real problems. This woman in Tennessee has shamed America. She didn't try to work with it...she didn't try treatment...she didn't try counselling...my God, isn't America supposed to be THE country for sources to help kids? Nope. She did squat and now we have an international incident whether you like it or not. Thousands waiting to adopt, most of them probably decent prospective parents, are now going to suffer the ire of Russian officials.
If you had adopted a foreign kid, would you throw up your hands and shove him onto a plane...7 years old...ALONE...with a freaking note pinned to him in English and ship him to Russia unannounced? Is that what you are advocating?
Yes, it is now an international incident and another very black mark on Americans in general. Get over it. That's what the rest of the world is going to see!
and if the rest of the World looks at it like you do,....then thats their problem....as well as yours.....i dont blame the N.Korean people for imprisoning that American dude.....i dont blame the Iranian people for the bullshit their leader spews.....and i certainly will not blame the American people for what some assholes of this country do.....in spite of the stupidity you seem to think everyone has NM....most of the people on this planet are smart enough to figure this out....to bad your not....
