The number of adoptions by LGBT+ couples has reached a record high, according to the Department for Education, while the overall number of adoptions has dropped for the fourth year in a row.

490 adoptions were to same-sex couples in England in 2018/19, which broke the previous record of 450 and means that at least one in seven adoptions were to LGBT+ people this year.

Statistics do not record whether single adopters are LGBT+, or whether couples are LGBT+ if they are in an opposite-sex relationship, so it is likely the number is actually higher.

Of the 490 adoptions to same-sex couples, 240 were to married, 100 were in a civil partnership and 150 were same-sex couples not married or in a civil partnership.

In contrast, the total number of adoptions in England in 2019 fell for the fourth consecutive year to 3,570, despite the number of looked after children in England continuing to rise.

Bill 113, An Act to amend the Civil Code and other legislative provisions as regards adoption and the disclosure of information (2017, Chapter 12), was adopted and received assent on June 16, 2017. The amendments to the confidentiality rules regarding the identity of adopted persons and their parents of origin came into effect on June 16, 2018.

“Assessments from experts point out that one of the problem areas that exacerbate the baby-for-sale

trade is the adoption system in the Philippines,” De Lima, chairperson of the Senate Committee on

For over 15 years we’re working with the International Social Service, we started as a collaborator and then we went to being a correspondent for Romania.

Through the programs developed with the International Social Service we primarily try to help the unaccompanied minors found in various Western European countries and beyond.

We try to bring them home, when possible, mediate a reconciliation with his family and to offer alternatives to study or work here in Romania. It seems simple, but actually is really not in reality. It’s very much work. Only until now we had hundreds of cases of children who reached adulthood returned to Romania that once here felt like strangers in their own country.

Also through SSI we managed to successfully answer to children who reached adulthood now looking for their Romanian parents who have given them for international adoption decades ago.

Hans Nijhuis asks (Opinion, November 23): "Can a bridge be built between abortion and adoption? Abortion less often, having children born and having them adopted by partners who would love to have their own child. "

In 2007 such a sound came in the news, then from politics. The government felt that women should be more often made aware of the possibility of adoption instead of abortion. Both proposals testify to little knowledge about unintended pregnancy and about distance for adoption.
