First of all, you got to read the Snopes article that attempts to debunk Trump's famous tweet. It's clownish and hilarious.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a controversial bill that forbids adoption of Russian foster children by American citizens. The law comes into force on January 1, 2013.
The legislation was earlier adopted by an overwhelming majority of lawmakers in the Russian parliament. Putin voiced his support for the ban while the bill was still being debated by the lawmakers.The law, which is viewed by many as retaliation for a US law targeting alleged Russian violators of human rights, will lead to the revocation of a Russian-American agreement on the issues. The US State Department responded to the news from Moscow saying it “deeply regrets Russia’s passage of a law”, labeling the ban “politically motivated”.“The Russian government’s politically motivated decision will reduce adoption possibilities for children who are now under institutional care,” read the statement by the spokesperson Patrick Ventrell. “We regret that the Russian government has taken this step rather than seek to implement the bilateral adoption agreement that entered into force in November.”Sponsors of the law justify it with several cases of abuse of Russian children by their American adoptive parents. They complained that the punishment for the offences issued by the US justice system was disproportionately mild, while Russian diplomats were prevented from giving enough input in the prosecution of such cases.Tracking how Russian children are being treated in the US is all-but impossible, Mirah Riben, a former director of the American Adoption Congress told RT. Riben says that only in 19 cases, when children were tortured and died, adoptive parents have been prosecuted for violent child treatment.“How many more? There's absolutely no way of knowing,” she says. “We certainly have no idea how many people are enduring abuses, surviving abuses of all kinds.”Riben also remarked that in the US there is “no system of follow up an adoption.”
My family adopted a pre-teen girl from Russia. She had a wonderful blessed life in the Lord and is happily married and living in rural Washington. Her parents, my family are wonderful loving people. I am grateful for their pivotal guidance in my life and walk with the Lord!
Unfortunately, there are horrible stories that outweighed your wonderful story. Putin acted appropriately
I agree 💯. Human trafficking is rampant and America is leading the charge! I don’t blame him at all. He made the best decision for his people, of whom which he loves.
However; the above statement should not diminish the results and good will of those who have had success! I know one person - whose life was changed for the good - AND more importantly, she now has salvation in Christ!
My theory was that libs loved themselves some Soviets--Bernie even vacationed there. When they banned adoptions, however, they became the enemy.
Do we think DJT was sending a message to Putin or just that Putin picked up on this?
