MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s foreign minister is urging a freeze in child adoptions to U.S. families after a Russian boy adopted by an American woman was flown back to Russia on his own.

Russian news agencies cite Sergey Lavrov as saying the ministry will recommend that the U.S. and Russia hammer out an agreement before any new adoptions are allowed.

Lavrov was reacting to reports that an 8-year-old Russian boy adopted in the United States was flown by himself back to Moscow bearing a note saying his adoptive mother from Tennessee was returning him.
