Adoptions are down in Italy due to
COVID-19, the commission for international adoptions said
Tuesday.
Last year adoptions of foreign babies and children in Italy were
680, down from 1,205 in 2019.
2020 saw the lowest number on record, 669.
The trend has been going on for many years and the pandemic has
accentuated it, said the committee.
Twelve years ago, in 2012, there were some 3,106 foreign
adoptions.
The report was dated as far as 2021.
