U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the U.S. and Russia plan to negotiate a new adoption agreement that addresses concerns raised after an American woman sent her adopted Russian son back to his home country.

Crowley said U.S. and Russian officials had a positive meeting on the matter on Thursday in Moscow and that the U.S. "committed to pursue an agreement that strengthens the processes of adoption of Russian children and American families." [Source: The Associated Press]
