The Legal Guys
Prosecutors in Georgia have dropped sexual assault charges against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. But his troubles may not be over. CNN's Fredricka Whitfield talked about some of the week's big cases with our legal experts. Avery Friedman is a civil rights attorney and law professor in Cleveland, Ohio. Richard Herman is a New York criminal defense attorney and law professor.
International Adoptions
U.S. officials will travel to Moscow soon to discuss the future of U.S.-Russian adoptions. Russia recently said it will suspend adoptions of Russian children by U.S. families after a Tennessee woman sent her adopted Russian son back to Moscow, all by himself. She sent a note saying the child had psychological problems and violent tendencies.
U.S officials appear optimistic the adoption issue can be resolved, and they say adoption cases are still moving forward.
There's no doubt adoption is a painstaking process. CNN's Fredricka Whitfield talked with Dr. Amy Pakula of the Marcus International Adoption Center about the unique challenges of international adoptions.
