The State Duma has begun considering a bill banning the adoption of children from Russia by citizens of countries that permit gender transition through medical intervention or changes to identity documents. This was reported by State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin.

"We are, in essence, introducing a ban on the adoption of children by citizens of NATO countries, since the overwhelming majority of them permit gender reassignment at the legislative level," the explanatory note to the document says.

As noted in the bill, the ban is aimed at implementing state policy to eliminate any possibility of adoption of Russian children by representatives of the LGBT community.

The State Duma drafted a bill in May to completely ban adoption of a child by foreign citizens if gender reassignment is permitted in their country. The Russian Orthodox Church proposed introducing such a ban a year ago.

On January 6, 2025, Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-01) announced the re-introduction of his Adoption Information Act. According to a press release, this act “…would require family planning services to provide information on nearby adoption centers to anyone receiving their services. A family planning services’s eligibility to receive federal grants or contracts through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) would be contingent upon providing this information.”

An adoptee, Congressman Wittman also shared his perspective about adoption:

“A lot of people say they would not be where they are today without their parents—for me, that is the absolute truth….When I was eight months old, my mom and dad adopted me. My birth mother’s decision to choose adoption gave me more opportunities than she felt she could provide, and my parents’ decision to adopt instilled in me a passion for public service and a desire to give back. That’s why I’m proud to reintroduce my Adoption Information Act so that all mothers know what options are available to them. This legislation is a simple step that can make a world of a difference.”

In addition to being a constituent of Congressman Wittman, I’m also an adoptee who believes the Adoption Information Act would cause more harm than good.
