Suspension of adoptions in Kazakhstan

It has been the law for 3 years, some agencies and families have chosen not to complete this part of the adoption, feeling that once they are home, Kazakhstan has no business with their children. I have to say that I am very pleased that Kazakhstan is a country that continues to be concerned with the children that have come from there. They want to be re-assured that these children were not adopted simply to be sold as slaves, for body parts or something else unthinkable. They want to know that the children are safe and cared for. I don't think this is too much to ask.
