Russian adoption ban reminiscent of Cold War

January 10, 2013

Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision on the anti-American adoption law is very disappointing; it seems like a throwback to the Cold War era. You would think anyone adopting a child from Russian orphanages would be a good thing.

But in Pennsylvania alone there are thousands of children in the child welfare system at any given time. Why are these kids overlooked for adoptions? For a full election year, we heard from all of the American pro-lifers. If they were to take action by adopting, rather than offering empty talk, our children in need in this country could be in a much better place.
