I am trying to set up a validation in a model to ensure that a record
can't be saved unless the foreign key it belongs_to is a valid record.
My model says:

    class Admin < ActiveRecord::Base
        validates_presence_of :user_id
        validates_numericality_of :user_id
        validates_uniqueness_of :user_id
        validates_associated :user

        belongs_to :user

    end

but I can still create an admin record even if the associated user
record doesn't exist. I tried creating a custom validator, too, but I
couldn't test User.find(@user_id) from within the model.

How can I check for this at the model level?
