This is one of the most heartbreaking stories I have ever read. Most Americans are loving and decent people and yet for some reason, the criminals are evidently getting access to these beautiful children. While it appears there are quite a few pedopiles in government in the US along with many other dishonest and disgusting people - it would behoove the US to at least step in and control the idiots who are so reckless with such beautiful children. We have a responsibility to ensure these children are safe and loved. Why has our government not done this? Of course, it is too late now - Smart Putin put the kabosh on all adoptions in the US of Russian children. But this should not have happened - ever. I hope our government sent apologies and anything else to show remorse.
