I would say yes. If you have your own kid biologically, there's no guarantee about what kind of mental stability issues your kid is going to have. It's a crapshoot. Even though you have more control when you're adopting (you can at least know if some obvious physical issues are present), there's still going to be a wild card element. But it's still parenthood, you don't get to change your mind, even if it ruins your life.

And if you just everything a russian orphanage worker tells you, that's a pretty big problem.
