One response to “Max Shatto Adopt”
Max Shatto would be the 20th Russian adoptee murdered by American adopting parents. The international adoption industry refuses to admit there is a problem.
I was adopted from a German orphanage by an American couple and applaud the ban prohibiting Americans from adopting Russian children. In this TV interview, I describe international adoption from a unique perspective–that of a foreign orphan adopted to the United States–and harm caused by uprooting children from their native countries and cultures.
