British citizens are among those that will face new restrictions on adopting Russian children under a decree aimed at countries that permit gay marriage.

The decree, posted on the Russian government's website yesterday, is intended to "help improve the procedure for transferring children without parental care to families of Russian and foreign citizens, and to protect the rights and interests of these children".
