Russia has asked the US State Department to look into the circumstances surrounding a teenage Russian adoptee who says he returned to his country of birth after being kicked out of the house by the American couple that adopted him, the Russian Embassy in Washington said Thursday.
Joshua Alexander Salotti, 18, was living on the streets for several months in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, due to a conflict with his adoptive parents before deciding to return to Cheboksary, the Volga River city where he was born, according to members of his American family and interviews he gave to Russian media this week. A State Department official told RIA Novosti on Thursday that the agency is “working to facilitate communication between the Russian Embassy and the appropriate local officials” regarding the case.
“Due to privacy considerations, we have no further comment,” the official said.
