Apparently adoption rates in the US are in decline. See article.
Figures for the 2007 fiscal year, recently released by the State Department, showed that adoptions from abroad have fallen to 19,411, down about 15 percent in just the past two years.
It’s a dramatic change. The number of foreign adoptions had more than tripled since the early 1990s, reaching a peak of 22,884 in 2004 before dipping slightly in 2005, then falling to 20,679 in 2006.
