SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. - Torry Hansen was so eager to become a mother that she adopted an older child from a foreign country, two factors that scare off many prospective parents. Her bigger fears came later. Torry's mother, Nancy Hansen, said the 7-year-old's violent episodes — which culminated in a threat to burn the family's home to the ground — terrified them into a shocking solution: The boy they renamed Justin was put on a plane by himself and sent back to Russia.Now, outraged officials in that country are calling for a halt to adoptions by Americans, and Tennessee authorities are investigating the family. However, Nancy Hansen told The Associated Press that the motives of her daughter — a 33-year-old, unmarried nurse — were sincere. "The intent of my daughter was to have a family and the intent of my whole family was to love that child," she said Friday. The family was told the boy, whose Russian name is Artyom Savelyev, was healthy in September when he was brought from the town of Partizansk in Russia's Far East to his new home in the heart of Tennessee horse country. The skinny boy seemed happy, but the behavioral problems began soon after, Hansen said."The Russian orphanage officials completely lied to her because they wanted to get rid of him," she said. Hansen chronicled a list of problems: hitting, screaming and spitting at his mother and threatening to kill family members. Hansen said his eruptions were often sparked when he was denied something he wanted, like toys or video games. "He drew a picture of our house burning down and he'll tell anybody that he's going to burn our house down with us in it," she said. "It got to be where you feared for your safety. It was terrible." Hansen said she thought that with their love, they could help him. "I was wrong," she said. Not prepared?
Adoption experts say many families are blinded by their desire to adopt and don't always understand what the orphans have sometimes endured — especially older children who may have been neglected or abandoned. "They're not prepared to appreciate, psychologically, the kinds of conditions these kids have been exposed to and the effect it has had on them," said Joseph LaBarbera, a clinical psychologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.
I.F.F.O.C. has investigated these types of problems with adoptions, and has found out in most of these nightmares of adoptions between countries, the agencies , as well as, the countries involved, does not reveal the truth in the problems with the children that are adopted out, due to the Federal Title IV funds these governments and agencies receive, whereby, this would create a problem of distrust, and concealment by the agencies, of children problems, prior to the original adoption. Some of these problems from children's behavior problems included drug or alcohol related problems from the biological parents, or genetic problems, in which were concealed from the adoptive parents, so the adoption agency could make huge profits. The result is that the government, nor the agencies, did not monitor the adoption properly, prior to the completion of the adoption, or they would have noticed behavioral problems prior to completing the ICPC, (Interstate Compact Placement of Children), or just simply concealed intentionally just for profits. This is now getting attention because we, as Americans are seeing the other side of the sword when monies or Federal Title IV Funds are involved. These funds are over one hundred thousand dollars per child for each adoption. As the great Paul Harvey would say, “Now you know the rest of this story.” It is a shame when corporate greed hides the truth for profits. People do not realize that this lady involved was a nurse, who knew how to take care of people, and she was at her wits end, after she attempted to make every attempt to address, and / or correct the situation. She had to protect the rest of her family, and she made the best decision for the critical situation at hand. She did not endanger this child's health, safety, or welfare. These other countries are making huge profits off of these adopted children and this is another government way of black-marketing children for profits, in which now caught the attention of the public. Usually, the public only looks only at the first news segment and portrays a lady disposing a child. But for those who are more intellectual, we have noticed that there is more to this smoking mirror of images. That these children were sold for government profits, and that the truth that was hidden that these, or at least this child secret was hidden from the adoptive parents, that this child was a problem child, and now the rest of the world knows.
