Russia and Finland will soon ink a bilateral children’s rights accord, which is all the more relevant in view of a recent spate of decisions made by Finnish child overseeing agencies to  take away kids of mixed marriages and hand them over to foster families. The authors of a draft law already prepared say that if approved it would enable such children to  choose their language and religion and follow the traditions of one of their parent’s country of origin. The draft wan praise from Russia’s children’s ombudsman Pavel Astakhov who was recently in Finland  to handle the case of the Russian born Inga Rantala and her Finnish husband Veli-Pekki Rantala whose seven year-old son Robert had been placed in an orphanage in Turku.
