For those of you in waiting or matched, I'm so sorry to hear of Putin's signing of the ban.:(
I'm disgusted by the misconceptions out there (organ donation, really??) and even more disgusted by the fact that so many children will simply never know a family, especially the ones with special needs.
My thoughts are with them and you.

All I can say is I am sorry. I dont really know much about Russian law, but could this be a ban that doesnt last long?

I'm heartbroken for the waiting parents and even more so for the children who deserve families, but are much less likely to have one now. I look at my two adopted from Moscow and am so thankful for them. But at the same time I see what their most likely would have been without international adoption. My oldest is of mixed race (Caucasian and Asian) and had been turned down by 3 Russian families because of "her look." My youngest had an extremely rough star, was near death when arriving at the orphanage and had things on her medical that made it so most Russians wouldn't or couldn't adopt her because of the uncertainity of her health and the cost it may be to care for her. Home 9 months and she's thriving.
My heart is broken and you all are in my prayers.
Children should not have to grow up in SN orphanage. no matter how good the orphanage is, its just not a family.

I too am very, very sorry that this has happened. I know that if my adoption had been disrupted in this way, I would have felt out of control with anger and grief. The stress of international adoption (and adoption, in general) is incredible. Please stay strong.

Maybe a glimmer of hope for "special needs". See around paragraph four.

I have not been on here in quite some time; however, as soon as I read the news regarding Putin's decision I felt the need to revisit the forum where I had once received so much support. I am so unbelievably saddened for any who were in the process, as well as for the poor children who are undoubtedly going to suffer as a result of - what seems to be a temper tantrum. I pray this "ban" will be short lived and families will be united soon.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. :(

My thoughts are also with everyone now "stuck" due to the ban. I remember not having any children and just being so anxious(and desperate) to become a mom. I hope everyone who is in process will be grandfathered in and get their kids. It's the humane thing to do for the kids and the families.

I am heartbroken about Russia. Innocent children should never be used as political pawns. I hope that the children who are currently in the process will be united with their American families. The children and their families are in my thoughts and prayers.
