Russian Adoption ban

Affecting Precious Children

• Their are nearly 740,00 children in Russia who have no parental custody
• More than 18,000 children are on the waiting list to be adopted
• Most of these children have issues such as disabilities or sicknesses
• However other countries like America accepted these children as ours
• However with the Russian adoption ban it has stranded many children

Untitled Slide

• It has affected many children since December 28, 2012
•  America had adopted over 60,000 Russian children over two decades 
• Causing hundreds of families adoptions to be cut
• These kids felt that there families didn't want them no more, confused
• Causing hundreds of children to be stranded in Russia

• Although they are trying to find families in their homelands 
• The countries they lost are irreplaceable, and make kids dreams come true 
• kids who were almost dopted by those families, wont forget their faces
• Since they waited for them to bring them home, but that dream was crushed
• That's why I think Russia should rethink the adoption ban

• Why ban these countries from being able to adopt when their saving them
• Far more Russian adopters die in there homelands than in America
• It has affected 700 children who were in the process of being adopted
• 300 of these children had already met their new families but were cut off
• Only 99 of the 300 kids have been adopted by Russian and Western countries

• However 64% of Russia support this law
• Children are waiting for their new siblings to come home 
• However they may never, causing stress and hurtness
• Since they know that they can never hold those children
• Making families to keep fighting for them since they love them

Untitled Slide

• The reason why I think they should think this over is ....
• Russian's don't generally accept disabled children, 13 other countries do
• Before the ban, orphans were offered to Russian families but no one took them in
• A quote by Ravoka
• So why can't Americans and the other 13 countries give these children love

• 1998,  thousands of Russian children have been adopted into the U.S. 
• However many more children die in Russia than America
• "Here in Russia we have many examples of bad parents 
• even worse than these American cases -- where kids are just tossed out,”
