US adoptions of Russian children have been halted, days after a Russian boy was rejected by his adoptive mother in the American state of Tennessee.The Russian foreign ministry said the move would apply until a bilateral adoption agreement could be signed.
An international outcry erupted last week when the US mother sent her seven-year-old Russian boy unaccompanied on a plane to Moscow.
She sent a note with him saying the boy had psychological issues.
Torry Hansen, 33, a nurse, said she no longer wanted to keep the boy as she felt she had been misled by his Russian orphanage.This article is from the BBC News website. ? British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
