I can understand why Russia wants to keep thier youth. I think it's good that they try to find homes for they children and are allowing foster care as an option. It's good that they're not trying to close the gap on foreign adoption entirely though. They still have it open as an option for children whom they can't find homes or for those who can't get medical treatment in Russia.

Russia attitudes colder towards foreign adoption
In the past Russia has been an main source for foreign adoptions. Now however they are closing the gap and only using foreign adoption as a last resort. They want to keep their children in Russia. They need young minds because there are so much more older people then young because the dropping birth rate. They will try to find adoptive homes or even foster homes and will only allow foreign adoption if they can't find a home or if the child has medical issues that can't be treated in Russia.
