Why is that? A lack of Swedish orphans? Red tape that exists locally but not internationally? That 100/year figure is shocking to me.
- TorKlingberg 12y agoI went and checked the statistics. The were 586 domestic adoptions in Sweden in 2014, slightly more than the 546 international adoptions. I assume most of the domestic adoptions are to people who were already close to the child, such as relatives or a parents new partner. In fact 61% were above 18 years old. http://www.scb.se/sv_/Hitta-statistik/Artiklar/Internationella-adoptioner-minskar/ http://www.scb.se/sv_/Hitta-statistik/Artiklar/Internationel...
