PAMELA ANDERSON BACK TO RUSSIA

Sexy Pamela Anderson has a good heart

Pamela Anderson has vowed to return to a Russian orphanage after falling "in love" with the children.The actress - who was in Russia to co-host the MTV Russia Film Awards last week - said visiting the "inspiring" orphans was the highlight of the trip and really "opened her eyes".The former 'Baywatch' star wrote on her official website www.pamelaanderson.com: "I especially loved visiting an orphanage outside of Moscow. It was really eye opening - sad but inspiring to see these kids happy despite having nothing - really nothing, including parents."I'm going back to visit - I'm in love with them and their spirits."The 39-year-old - who has two sons, Brandon, 10, and Dylan, nine - also spent time learning about the Russian adoption system. She noted: "It's very difficult to adopt from Russia unless you are Russian or living in Russia. It's not common in their culture, and they do not have a foster care system". Pamela was touched by the orphans' "heart-wrenching" stories and is hopeful for their future. She added: "Their stories are heart-wrenching, but when you put your arms around these kids and kiss them - play games with them and listen to them sing and laugh - it really makes you reach inside - know how blessed we are - and know how much of a blessing it is that we can brighten a child's day."I have hope for them, they will survive, and I hope as this transition still occurs throughout Russia that they are given a chance."
