As a cynical man, I wonder if some same-sex couples were adopting Russian children. If so, I agree with this ban completely. We don’t need to have innocent children corrupted by sodomites.
I’m hesitant to call you shortsighted and uninformed, but that issue has nothing to do with the ban, nor would it be a good reason to ban the adoptions. Right here in my state, there are many good Christian families who have adopted Russian children who would languished in Russian orphanages, gone out into society, and become a ugly statistic. There are many more who will now not have an opportunity. I would even wager that a Russian orphan adopted by homos is better off than one who’s left there.
