Most of the developed countries forbid adoptions of country nationals by foreign citizens, how many US children got adopted by foreign countries?...not sure why Russian media is making such a big buzz around this law, probably just to find one more way to criticize Putin.

I wouldn't exactly consider Russia "developed".

I wouldn't consider your opinion well thought through.
Well, you're wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developing_country

Protip: next time, try doing some basic research before making an uneducated comment.

"You're wrong" and then linking to wikipedia? This is what "pros" do?
Feel free to look at the sources cited in the wiki article if you're not convinced. Hint: they're quite reputable.
I don't have numbers, but people from outside America can adopt American children.
Honestly I am not sure whether the Russian media made any big deal at all out of that, I would bet in fact even if they did, it was far (lower) from the extent to which American media did. Not to mention the protests held by thousands in the US.
