Abstract

This Comment analyzes and recommends changes to the Adoption Agreement that will regulate intercountry adoption between the United States and the Russian Federation until January 2014. This Adoption Agreement was reached out of concern for the safety of adopted children, due to the number of stories and allegations of abuse at the hands of American parents.
