Russia bans sweeden from adopting

Looks like Russia may be shutting their doors to international adoption, one country at a time.  All over their stance on gay people.

My favourite line is the first one. Russia would rather its children have no parents than gay parents

Canada to be banned?

Upon a discussion with someone I know still in the process and more so on articles online its not looking good.  Looks like Russia may pass a law to ban those from countries who permit same sex marriage to adopt.  Countries affected would have to sign an agreement.

I think if the child goes up for re-adoption they don't want a gay couple to readopt or if a couple is misrepresenting themselves.  It's hard to read this.  This is crazy.

It's so sad in this day in age people have issues against gay people.  Using innocent children to make a statement and force a country's hand to sign this agreement makes them look even more f'ed up.  Frankly, it doesn't show positively on their concern for their children which they always seem to say they have.

I think having gone through this I know a fair amount of what the people believe compared to the government.  They couldn't be more opposite.

Spain is being affected by this law, link below.

I feel for those in Canada.  Keep hope Alive as you never know.

this program.  It offers parents $100 per

month until the child is 6.

Providing the appropriate backup. 

For example the child's birth certificate or
