This is sad and bad business. Russian President Vladimir Putin says he will sign a law banning U.S. adoption of Russian children .

Putin is using politics to make a point surrounding the U.S. Magnitzky Law banning Russians from the U.S. who are thought to have human rights violations in their history. Unfortunately the politics are hurting a lot of innocent, needy children and parents in waiting.
