The death of a Russian-born baby in the hands of his Purcellville adoptive father last week is sparking international strife between the child’s former country and the United States over adoption regulations.

Miles Harrison’s  21-month-old son, Chase, died when he was left for several hours in the back seat of a sport utility vehicle last week. The father remained hospitalized for shock, and will be charged with manslaughter upon his release, police said Tuesday.
