Bye bye, little babushkas; enjoy your tuberculosis

I wonder if some Americans go for the Russians because they're the only widely available white brand of foreign babies. 

Of course.  When your other options are of various third-world races, even Slavs start to look good.

This thread has suddenly taken an insensitive and offensive turn.

Generally yes, but some of the chicks can look pig-faced.

At the time that I was looking into this, Russia had one of the easier processes. The Ukraine wasn't bad, either, really. India and China were streamlined, but required more cash, more travel time, and had stricter rules for who could and could not adopt whom. (At a certain age, they would only allow you to adopt special needs kids.)

Most of the sub-Saharan African nations, supposedly, have a slightly better process now, but for a while it was a freaking nightmare of red-tape, based on all that I read. North African nations are an absolute no-go for Americans.

At this point, you're one of us.

I was about to start this topic myself.  Funny how Russian minds work:  Americans punish corrupt murderous bureaucrats, Russians retaliate by ... punishing their own sick orphans.  They sure proved they're hardcore.  If it wasn't so sad, it would be very amusing.

Does this mean you are going to get sent back?

Russian logic: America passes a law we don't like, so they can't have our retard babies. We sure showed them!
