Ironically, and sadly too, he is actually doing naive Americans (and other nationalities) a favor. These kinds of adoptions rarely end up very well. Usually these kids are too emotionally scarred and deprived from their experiences to recover very well and be functional adults.

I've had 3 such kids (now teenagers) in the last 2 months in adolescent inpatient where I am, and the prognosis was very bad for all of them (out of control, aggressive, violent, and practically animalistic). All of them came from well off loving families (that were growing broke from all the medical bills, therapy, and other forms of treatment, and trying to do everything they could to help them), and were adopted at fairly young ages (3-5 years old).

They had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
