Russia On Adopted Boy Artyom Savelyev Sent Back From US
Russia On Adopted Boy Artyom Savelyev Sent Back From US – It might be a little hard to believe but it seems that there have been many Americans that have been adopting children from Russia, having a hard time handling their behavioral issues, and then opting to send them back to Russia all on their own. Well this is what a woman from the U.S. did who adopted a boy from Russia and then decided she didn’t want him anymore, she tried to send him back to Russia on an airplane all on his own. Moscow, Russia officials are very upset by the matter and are threatening to not allow anyone from the U.S. to adopt a child from Russia anymore.
They want to completely stop all outgoing adoptions. It was just Friday that after the 7 year old boy was adopted by a woman in the Tennessee area that she tried to send him back! She had him sent on a one way flight all the way to Russia. She left a note on the flight saying that the boy was extremely violent and had physiological issues.
The boy’s name is Artyom Savelyev and he was placed on the plane by his adopted grandmother. She said to reporters “he drew a picture of our house burning down and he’ll tell anybody that he’s going to burn our house down with us in it. It got to be where you feared for your safety. It was terrible.” I think everyone can feel some sympathy for a situation like this but maybe if parents would fly to meet the children before adopting them things wouldn’t happen this way. A Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavroc said that this was “the last straw” with so many U.S. adoptions of Russian kids going wrong lately. There was even one where three Russian kids were reported dead in the United States.

i think its stupid that a 7 year old russian boy threatend to burn his adoption-mother’s house down with all of the family in it. kids these days are becoming so violent.
There is such a thing as DUE DILIGENCE. It’s no great secret that Russia’s orphanages contain many children with significant problems.
This child is not a PET! This child is a human being! GOD BLESS this poor child.
I hope this woman will never again will get the opportunity to lay her merciless hands on another child. She should not be allowed to adopt a cabbage.
This child has a severe case of fetal alcohol syndrome. They were on the news with their lawyer and psychologist, they did everything they could to help this kid but when you become afraid of a child, then that’s when you do what you have to. Good, Russia shouldn’t allow the US to adopt children from there anymore and they can deal with their problems instead of passing the buck to the US.
Apparently 15 Russian Children adopted by American families have been murdered by their adopting parents. I haven’t heard about even one case like this in Sweden who also adopts children from Russia. This is not a surprise as America is famous for psychopaths and have enormous gaps between poor and rich. No healthcare or proper schooling system for the poor. Many American children are getting abused by their own parents and children are put into jail instead of being taken care of. America is known worldwide for its big social issues and violence on the streets.
I am writing this in defense of the adopted mother. I believe she was a person who wanted to give a boy that had been given an unfortunate start in life a good and loving home. I did the same. When you become fearful of a child it becomes a different story. I adopted my son from Eastern Europe, he was 4 at the time. I was completely unaware of the repercussions that can come along with some older children that have been through abandonment and institutionalized life. There are many wonderful older children that deserve a good home – almost all of the adoption stories of prople I have met have been wonderful experiences. I have been through an enormous amount of struggle with rages, oppositional behavior, running away, physical attacks, police involvement (runing away), etc. I feel like the life has been completely sucked out of me. It seems there is no help available, unless you have a lot of money. Counseling did not help. Everyone around me cannot see the EXTREME behavior problem with him because is amazingly charming to others, although he does struggle with frequent trouble at school. I believe I receive the rage that my son is experiencing from things he could not control. My son is only 14. He has many of the symptoms of a child with Reactive Attachment Disorder. An extreme case of RAD can be detrimental to a family, and I have read extreme cases can be dangerous. I believe this mother wanted to give this boy a loving family and home or she would not have gone through ALL of the work and expense involved. I know what it is to be in a desperate situation with no help available. Sometimes love is just not enough to the heal deep wounds!!!
Lisa, thanks for all the bologna, now I can make a sandwich. Why not talk about the thousands of irresponsible Russian parents who are producing children that they don’t bother to care for? Or how about the greedy agencies that fail to fully disclose the nature of the child’s problems? There was quite a comprehensive documentary released well before this story broke, it was on hulu, and I’m sure it’s still on youTube somewhere. Did you ever think that, since the American adoption candidates live farther away, that maybe these greedy agencies were willing to be less forth coming with them than their Swedish counterparts thinking that they’ll be less likely to be able to make trouble for them when they see the truth?
I’m no more fond of Americans than the next (maybe less so) but to blame them entirely for this aberration is like blaming a volcano for an earthquake at it’s base. The trouble that started all this runs more deeply than the act of an irresponsible and desperate fool adult. I feel for this child, but not just because of this latest betrayal, I feel it for all the betrayals that brought him to this (starting from his biological parents) and all the betrayals yet to come.
