2011 International Adoption Statistics Bulgaria
Saturday, February 18, 2012

MOJ released the final statistics for international adoptions from Bulgaria in 2011. A total of 287 adoptions were completed, bringing 329 children to other countries. Here's the breakdown of adoptions by receiving country:
  • Italy    107
  • USA   65
  • France   31
  • Germany  24
  • Sweden   17
  • Netherlands  13
  • Spain   9
  • Norway   6
  • Greece   4
  • Canada   4
  • Cyprus   3
  • Switzerland  2
  • Luxembourg  1
  • Malta   1

The document also includes a column that I can't quite interpret with certainty. However, I think it shows the number of adoptions that have received the final MOJ approval, but the children have not yet been picked up by their parents. Those numbers are:
  • Italy    18
  • USA   45
  • France   7
  • Germany  5
  • Sweden   14
  • Canada   2

If I remember correctly, in 2010, there were 40 adoptions from Bulgaria to the US, so we are once again seeing an increase in children coming home.
