Yes, that was the only time he ever mentioned the word &quot;principle,&quot; but before the elections he had said that he would not allow same-sex couples to adopt children.

So much for his &quot;principles.&quot;

And his government has now accepted that in the case of the adoption of Russian children, Russian rules will apply - Russia reserved the right to check each adoption.

Which means that gay couples will not be allowed to adopt Russian children.  Which means that I have no idea what children same-sex couples will be able to adopt.]]></description>
