38% of Russian children are adopted by foreigners, 28%
by Russian citizens (not relatives) and 34% by relatives or
step-parents. Over 50% of children adopted domestically
are adopted by step-parents http://www.usinovite.ru/statistics/russian/.
200-400 domestic adoptions are disrupted in Russia every year
http://www.usinovite.ru/statistics/canceled/ with about 63% being
disrupted by the step-parents.
Russian children are adopted abroad as follows:
US 65%,
Spain 17%,
Italy 8%
Canada 1%,
others - 12%
http://www.usinovite.ru/statistics/countries/.
At the same time Spain and Italy are adopting more older
children to compare with younger ones (no percentages given,
just absolute numbers)http://www.usinovite.ru/statistics/foreign_ages/> , and they are disproportionably adopting more disabled children as well (US 48%, Spain 26%, Italy 10% Canada 1%, others - 15% )http://www.usinovite.ru/statistics/invalidity/
("invalidity" is a transliteration of Russian term meaning "disability").
All statistics can be found through http://usinovite.ru which is the official site for Russian adoptions. This site is in Russian, please copy and paste this URL into one of the many translation programs that are available. There are several listed under the Official Russian Site on our LINKS page.

24 May, 2005 Study: Foreign-born kids have relatively few behavioural problems
|
| |
This link to an MSNBC story provides some interesting insight into a phenomenon that most of post-adoptive parents know intuitively.
"...A surprising new study disputes the notion that children adopted from other countries tend to be badly damaged emotionally because of the hardships they had to endure.
The analysis of more than 50 years of international data found that these youngsters are only slightly more likely than non-adopted children to have behavioural problems such as aggressiveness and anxiety. And they actually seem to have fewer problems than children adopted within their own countries. Researchers Femmie Juffer and Marinus H. van IJzendoorn of Leiden University in the Netherlands pooled results from 137 studies on adoptions by parents living in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Israel. In the study, adopted children in general had more behaviour problems than non-adopted youngsters, regardless of where the adoption took place - a result that is not surprising, since both groups often suffer eprivation and come from broken families.
