I was joking, but on a serious note-these adoptions from russia have been a mess for years and should be stopped. Basically anyone who can't get a kid through legitimate channels ends up with one of these russian kids who are kookier than cocoa puffs from years of abuse in the russian foster system. One common trait a lot of the boys have is pretty f'd up... they all tend to smash their genitals by closing doors and windows onto them. I know it sounds wacky, but you should look up some of these cases. Nutty.

Bizarre. I remember a This American Life episode about a couple who adopted a young boy from Romania. As the kid got a little older and started to realize that his biological parents had abandoned him, he became violent. The kid was diagnosed with attachment disorder after he tried to stab the adoptive mother with a kitchen knife. The adoptive couple went to some seriously drastic lengths to find a course of therapy that would prevent the kid from becoming a psychopath. They all had a happy ending, but only because the adoptive parents were incredibly committed... I can image that it's really easy to get in over your head with some of these children.

Here's the episode:
