Introduction: The following tables are presented:
Data are from multiple sources, sometimes using unconsistent methods or reporting periods (e.g. fiscal year vs. calendar year) such that time series may not be uniform. Some data are incomplete; "unspecified" sending nation in table 1 indicates adoptions with unspecified source nation in available data. Sources are listed following the tables.
Also see Historical adoption statistics and child population/welfare statistics, United States.
