Russians can do whatever they want. I'm not looking to adopt a Russian baby so I'm pretty impartial on this one.

I'm saying its not exactly a trend of American adoptive parents beating to death Russian children. Unless you're reactionary this article shouldn't sway opinion one way or the other.

I also don't know why I should take the Russian government at face value? How do you know this mother actually killed the child? Does Russian government never lie?
