Almost two years have passed since the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted a law known as the “Dima Yakovlev Law”. Initially, Russian orphans were forbidden to be adopted by US citizens. Later, virtually all foreign adoptions were suspended. America was the number one country in terms of the number of adoptions from Russia. At the same time, it was often the Americans who adopted children with disabilities. In connection with the ban, even according to the most conservative estimates, in 10 years the number of children who have lost the chance to have a family will reach 30,000. “Children should grow up in their homeland…” But all that remains of their homeland is the view from the window and official underwear with a stamp.
