The expectation of reciprocity was clear. Both mentioned the sanction on adoptions.
Dude. Really. Open your eyes.
The horror of the evil Russian orphan adoption scheme? When will the Russian atrocities stop?
It's a shame you Leftists are so twisted, that you would want to stop able bodied American citizens from adopting Russian orphans.
I know why you are against it, because they will not vote Democrat when they get older.
Wow really your clueless aren't you??

No but that's going to be the result.
And Please stop with the putting friggin words in my mouth.
Make your damn statements without this "oh so your saying...blah blah blah..." when I'm not saying any of that. Otherwise go sit in front of a mirror and have this conversation with yourself.
It's idiotic. Stop it.

This is all about the receipt of foreign donations.
Try again.
I suggest you read it again.
Like I said - all about foreign donations and campaign contributions.
Keep trying.
