Every time I catch a flight outta Russia, I am amazed at the number of screaming babies I share the flight with. Actually, I noticed that KLM had more babies than Lufthansa. Maybe because their service is so good, maybe because the flight time from Moscow is convenient, but I really think its because KLM's USA sister airline is Northwest, serving America's heartland and its Nebraskan populace. See there is a very logical explanation why Russia is so popular with childless American families. And its not the ease of the transitional process, for Russian orphans are usually underdeveloped, unresponsive, and often in need of intensive counseling and medicine.
Russian kids fit the bill.
The Parliament was considering making the rules for adoption quite tough, with strong support, but it was running in to a lot of opposition from various sources. The Russian Nationalists support strengthening the laws on the grounds of national identity and sovereignty. The military supported the ban on the basis of national security. If Dmitry leaves, there will be one less Russian able to defend the homeland from the slow creep of the Chinese in the East, or the speedy Armies of the West. The orphanage directors supported the bills, because with fewer kids, they would have less money to steal for their dachas in Sochi.
