MOSCOW. July 29 (Interfax) - The young man, sent back from the United States to Russia by his adoptive parents with no money and documents, has returned to the U.S., Russian children's rights commissioner Pavel Astakhov said.
"Ivan (Thomas) Nieland, sent earlier by his U.S. adoptive father back to Russia with a one-way ticket, has received all his necessary documents in the U.S. general consulate and Federal Migration Service for Karelia and departed safely for the U.S.," Astakhov posted on his Instagram on Tuesday.
A male adolescent, sent back to Russia by U.S. adoptive parents upon reaching adult age, has been found in Petrozavodsk, Astakhov said earlier.
According to the commissioner, the young man arrived to Karelia in late 2013, had almost no documents, no accommodation, lived on occasional earnings and was homeless.
