Unfortinately, 'modern day slavery' exists in many counties around the world, including (according to Wikipedia at least) India (8 million) China (3.86 million), Pakistan (3.19 million), North Korea (2.64 million), Nigeria (1.39 million), Indonesia (1.22 million), Democratic Republic of the Congo (1 million), Russia (794,000) and the Philippines (784,000). One report says the US has more than 400,000 modern slaves working under forced labor conditions.
Are you sure that 'slavery was a thing in Russia whole lot longer than it was in US'? Technically correct, since the US was only founded in 1776, but slavery in what is now the US goes back much further. Do bear in mind that serfdom and slavery are not the same thing.

I was just watching chatroulette capture on youtube where a russian drunk casually mentioned how his relative is supposed to bring him a small ukrainian for him to work as a slave. We tend to forget that slavery was a thing in Russia whole lot longer than it was in US for example. Worst case scenario is that the children are not adopted, but are actually forced into slavery.
