Rather, both countries really want to facilitate adoptions of children in, well, "certain categories".

RSBM.
Is there a country that doesn't want to do this, though? It's so difficult, in different ways, for all involved. IMO.

I think your post is very objective, practical, and..... true.

As you stated, every country wants to place hard to adopt children.

Some countries, however, may have lax environments were "erasures" of red flags from schools, courts, and psychological assessments are easier to perform than others. Or, a high governmental level actively facilitates the adoptions as a matter of official policy. So, record keeper are ordered to have "erasers" at the ready for foreign adoptions.

But, that aside, I think you have a good point. Erasing to varying degrees is very likely not restricted to just Ukraine and Russia.

I deeply suspect that you are right. I have a relative who is a case worker with a good amount of experience with adopted kids.

She has told me that Ukrainian and Russian orphanages, courts, hospitals etc. are very well known for uhmm..... "censuring" records in order to hide or omit a variety of red flag warning signs.

That's true only about Ukrainian orphanages, not Russian, as Russian authorities banned the adoption of Russian children by American citizens since 2013 (Russian Federal Law #272-FZ.)
