Join Eric as he wraps up his adoption story with an interview of his biological brother. There are about 4.5 million adopted children in the United States, which is 7% of the population reported in the 2010 Census. This amount includes children who are adopted by relatives or a stepparent.
According to the congressional Coalition on Adoption; on any given day 391,000 children are living in the U.S. foster care system. 113,000 of these children eligible for adoption will wait, on average, almost three years for an adoptive family. It was estimated that 95,306 children were adopted in the U.S. in 2020, which is about a 17% decrease from 2019. Public adoptions comprised 58% of the total domestic adoptions in 2020, and private adoptions made up 42%. According the WA State DCYF, the costs for private adoption can range anywhere from $8,000 to $40,000. This is Part 1 of a 2 part series about adoption. On this episode we are going to be talking about finding our biological family.
