US: The international adoption rate has plummeted in the US (Opinion)
TRT World – July 20, 2017
International adoptions have decreased annually from their global apex in 2004, when 22,989 children were adopted internationally by US parents, according to a new report from the US State Department. Last year, 5,372 visas were issued; a mere 23 percent of the total from 2004.
