Unwanted Adopted Boy Sent Back To Russia

[Cronus]

A seven-year-old Russian boy who was adopted by an American woman has been sent home on his own with a note saying he was no longer wanted.

Young Artyom Savelyev arrived at Moscow airport with the typed note from his adoptive mother which said he was being abandoned after only six months in her care.
Torry-Ann Hansen had admitted to having made a mistake and suggested the boy should be re-housed.
"I no longer wish to parent this child," the unmarried 27-year-old nurse from Tennessee wrote, requesting his adoption be annulled.
She accused the boy's Siberian orphanage of misleading her about Artyom's behavioural problems.
Hansen had placed sweets, biscuits and colouring pens in the child's rucksack before checking him onto the 10-hour flight as an unaccompanied minor, reportedly telling him he was going on an "excursion" to Moscow.


Russian media has reacted with horror to the case and foreign minister Sergei Lavrov called for all adoptions of the country's children by US citizens to be frozen.
He said the suspension must be upheld until Russia and the US conclude an agreement on terms "specifying responsibilities" by the host family.
Artyom is an only-child, whose only known relative - his birth mother - was relieved of her motherhood rights in 2008.


He was picked up at the airport on Thursday by a Russian man who took him to the city's education ministry, where the youngster was left.
The man told officials he had been offered $200 (approximately ?130) over the internet by Hansen to perform the service.
Artyom has since been taken to hospital, where an examination revealed no signs of violent treatment.
But he reportedly told officials he was sometimes "dragged by his hair" by Hansen.
The boy will be kept in for a week before being transferred to an orphanage, either at the foreign ministry or in his home town in the far eastern Primoriye region.
The regional court had sanctioned his adoption in autumn 2009, a year after he was separated from his birth mother.

Regardless of any political rumblings this case has made or any 'behaviour problems' this boy may have,just remember one thing...
What a terribly sad little life this child has endured up to now.

Its irelivant wether she was single ,or unmarried there still allowed to adopt,who knows what problems she had herself .When things like this happen everybody believes what wrote in the gutter press ,we look to blame ... instead oftrying to understand this woman ,i think the russian goverment is partly to blame aswell as the young mother .

Gutter press or not, theres frankly no excuse for allowing a 7yr old kid to go on an unacompanied flight back to Moscow. She doesnt want the kid thats fair enough but theres plenty of other routes to go down before you even begin to contemplate puting a kid in harms way.
Social Services although far from perfect was set up to ensure that things like this did NOT need to happen.

i agree, he is 7? she is a grown woman who should have morals, she knew(or did she) know what she was getting in to. you cannot and should not look any where else but her! the russians done what they thought was right, sending a homeless boy to the states for a better life, poor kid.
