This study, conducted January 2004 to June 2006, was undertaken to assess the health status, educational attainment, and income of adult Korean-American adoptees and their adoptive families. The study focused on families who adopted a Korean-American child through Holt International Children's Services from 1970 to 1980. The principal investigator hoped to identify the effects of large-scale changes in family environment on children's outcomes using data on adults who were adopted in infancy. Korean-American adoptees placed through Holt International Children's Services had been quasi-randomly assigned to these families in infancy using a queuing (first-come, first-served) policy. One adoptive parent from each family was surveyed, as well as a small subset of adult adoptees, and each case represented an adopted or non-adopted child in the family. Adoptive parents were asked to give their age, sex, marital status, occupation, education level, household income, height, weight, tobacco and alcohol usage, and the number of children they had. Adoptive parents also gave information on their adopted and non-adopted children's age, sex, marital status, education level, income, weight, height, undergraduate institution, number of children, and whether their children smoked, drank alcohol, or had asthma. For adopted children, parents gave the arrival age of the child and whether the child was adopted through Holt International. Adoptive parents also indicated whether they were aware of and had used services such as workshops and referral services offered by Holt. Since the survey relied on parent reports of their adult children's outcomes, surveys were also sent to a small subset of adoptees. Their surveys included the same questions asked of their adoptive parents, as well as the adoptee's value of assets, religion, and frequency of religious attendance. The study also contained information on adoptees' birth parents obtained from Holt International's administrative records and constructed variables that analyzed household composition, population characteristics, and the education and health status of the adoptive family.

This study presents data from two samples from the Texas Adoption Project. The main sample consists of 300 families who adopted a child from a Texas home for unwed mothers between 1963 and 1971. Included are ability and personality data from the adoptees and other children in the families, from the adoptive mothers and fathers, and from many of the birth mothers of the adopted children. The data include an initial study in the late 1970s, a ten-year follow-up of the children in the late 1980s, interviews with the parents in about half the adoptive families between 1997 and 2002, and a short mail questionnaire in 2002-2005 focused on life outcomes. The second sample consists of 220 families who adopted a child from the same institution prior to 1966. The data are comprised of item responses and scale scores from two personality inventories completed by mail in 1980 by 215 fathers, 219 mothers, 302 adopted children, and 63 biological children of the adoptive parents. The inventories were The California Psychological Inventory and the Thurstone Temperament Schedule.

The AFCARS Trends Chart tracks children in Foster Care from FY 2002 through the most recent year. A table of data and a graphic depiction of trends are shown for children in care on the first day of the year, entries to foster care, exits, children waiting to be adopted, children adopted, children with terminations of parental rights, and total children served in foster care.

The purpose of the Iowa Children and Family Services and Lutheran Social Services projects was to assess environmental and genetic influences on subsequent antisocial and/or substance abuse among adoptees and matched controls. The 246 participating families in the study consisted of 136 males and 110 females. The comparative research design resulted in a final sample of 143 participants within the experimental condition, and 103 participants who served as members of the demographically-matched control group. The Lutheran Social Services projects consisted of 214 participating families of which 118 participants (60 males and 58 females) were included in the Alcoholism project, and 96 participants (66 males and 30 females) were included in the project on antisocial behavior. Roughly half of the participants in each project were adoptee control participants matched to the target adoptee participants. All samples were predominantly White. Data were collected in 1975 and included data on adoptee participants with biological family histories of psychiatric dysfunction, the adoptive family, and on the adoptees' matched adoptee controls. Data were collected for the Lutheran Social Services Antisocial project during 1979 and 1980, and data for the Lutheran Social Services Alcoholic project were collected during1981 and 1982. Each project gathered data on adoptee participants with biological family histories of antisocial and alcohol related problems respectively, the adoptive family, and on participants' matched adoptee controls. Variables assessed in both studies included genetic factors (e.g., adoptee physical development, and health), and environmental factors in the adoptive home (e.g., alcohol, antisocial and other behavior problems, death and divorce of adoptive parent(s)). The Murray Archive has numeric file data from both studies.

Abstract The necessary adoptions encompass cases of children over two years of age, with siblings, disabilities, chronic or interracial illness. This study aimed to present an integrative review of the necessary adoptions and how this topic has been investigated and discussed. From a search in the databases LILACS, SciELO, PePSIC and PsycINFO (2019-2018), 35 studies were retrieved. The scarce international production may be related to the fact that the necessary adoptions are a category in the Brazilian reality. Most of the studies prioritised as necessary the adoption of children children over two years of age, with few studies on children with disabilities, sickness and siblings. Further research on interracial adoptions is recommended, as well as greater awareness of the candidates to adopt regarding the profile of children for adoption in host institutions, which should be accompanied by greater visibility of the topic in the scientific field.

The department is court ordered to complete a home investigation to determine if potential adoptive family whom is seeking permanency is suitable for placement. This data represents the number of investigations undertaken by this office in 2008

In 2024, the number of South Korean children adopted abroad amounted to **, down from ** in the previous year. The number of adopted boys significantly exceeded that of girls. While international adoptions from South Korea have declined sharply over the past two decades, South Korean adoptees still made up the fifth-largest national group of U.S. overseas adoptions in 2018.

The data in the table 'Adoptions by country of origin, type of adoption and gender' concern adoption applications submitted to Dutch courts and the data on adoptions via the Hague Adoption Convention. The table shows the numbers of adopted children by country of origin, sex, type of adoption and procedure followed. A distinction is made between ordinary adoptions and stepparent adoptions. Ordinary adoptions are again divided into adoptions through the Dutch courts and adoptions that have taken place through the Hague Adoption Convention. If a child is adopted from a country that is party to this treaty, the adoption is automatically and fully recognized without the intervention of a Dutch court. Data available from: 1995. Status of the figures: All figures included in the table are final figures. When will the new numbers come out? This table will no longer be updated. In the course of 2010, a new method of observation will be adopted and a revised series will be published.

In Italy, in 2019, the highest share of adopted children born abroad was between five and nine years both for girls and boys. Indeed, their percentages were **** percent and **** percent, respectively.
