Auckland Adoption Statistics
As adoption applicants in the local pool in Auckland, the adoption numbers (ie: how many adoptions so far this year, and how many applicants in the pool) are important to us. These numbers give us a feel for our “odds”. Unfortunately the figures aren’t getting any better (as mentioned in the recent NZ Herald article link on an earlier post).
Recently OPAN contacted CYF with a request for some detailed historical statistics for NZ/Auckland Adoptions for the last 5 years (number of adoptions vs avg number of applicants in the pool). Unfortunately they weren’t able to provide stats for the rest of the country at this stage – but we’ll continue to ask.
Thanks to Lynley at CYF for the above information.
Update: It looks like similar statistics for local adoption in Australia: 61 Local Placement Adoptions in 2009/10.
