I couldn't find SFI Adoption in opencorporates.com so I searched for adoption agencies in Virginia to see if I could find any with a similar name in case there was a typo or something. I came across some other Virginia adoption agencies, one of which is The Datz Foundation, which has several branches throughout the US. It's founder is Mark Eckman, and a search of him led to a news article from 2013 about how Russia put a ban on Americans adopting Russian children, after the death of a 3 year old boy who had been adopted from Russia by an American family.

I found this sentence particularly illuminating:

The agitation in Russia against US adoptions has stunned Americans. After all, adoptions are expensive and Russia enjoyed financial benefits stemming from this business. The opinion here is that the losers of this whole conflict are Russian orphans who will not find an American home. http://www.euronews.com/2013/02/22/russian-parliament-demands-orphan-returns-from-us
