[PROVO, 04/13/2018] – Adoption in the US, especially international adoption, is seeing a steady decline because of its complex and overwhelming processes. Couples who are keen on adopting can turn to Matthew P Jube - Attorney at Law, a reputable adoption attorney based in Utah. His firm helps hopeful parents navigate the daunting system in the US.

Adoption More Forbidding

Adoption rates in the US have been seeing a steady decline in recent years. From 23,000 in 2004, international adoptions in the country plummeted to a projected 4,200 in 2018. In fact, according to the State Department, only 5,400 children were adopted in 2016.

This was a massive 80% drop that experts suspect stemmed from a difficult adoption process. Moreover, Save the Children, UNICEF, and many other international charities consider international adoptions a last resort, prioritizing relatives and local adoptive parents.

Adoption.com CEO Nathan Gwilliam says if the trend continues, international adoptions could cease completely within four years.
