Where do the most adoptions take place in the US?
351010
The total number of adoptions each year has not been comprehensively compiled since 1992. \n\nStates with the highest number of adoptions are states with greater populations. In 1992, California lead with 14,722 adoptions. New York was second with 9,570, Texas third with 8,235, Florida fourth with 6,839, and Illinois fifth with 6,599 adoptions. (Flango and Flango, 1994)

have  you tried going through the adoption disclosure agency and registering with them.    I'm not sure where you live, but i contacted the one in toronto, On, and they found my birth mother but she didn't want to see me and i haven't seen her in 45 years.  My e-mail address is devon_46@hotmail.com if you need more information about the agency and live in or near the toronto area

Well...It was pretty terrible to begin with but then it turned out wonderful.  I was abused (not going into details) as a very young child(my brothers were also).  Social Services took us away from our mother when I was 4.  I was in a foster home for 4 years where they were abusive as well.  I was then adopted out of there at 8 yrs old to the most wonderful parents any child could have hoped for.  My brothers were not as fortunate...they were not put into foster homes to be adopted out, they were put into group homes and never found a home. Now 2 of my brothers actually live with my birthmother in Oregon.  She actually had the nerve to ask me to move up there with her so she could have all of her babies together!  She should have thought about her babies when we were fu*#ing babies! u know what i mean?!?!?!?!?! So My childhood was pretty damn shitty until i was8.

My grandfather was given up for adoption in 1929 in Boston, MA. He went to State House Annex before being placed in foster care.  He was never legally adopted.

The Mormon Church has the most up to date registry of most of the people in the U.S.. Also, I believe that the Buear \n(s) of Indians might be able to help you. Go to Yahoo Search and see what you can find.\nHave a nice day.

Throughout the Western Hemisphere from the tip of South America to Canada. There are many in the western states of the US, and an isolated "subspecies" in Florida.

yes you can.  get an immigration lawyer that specializes in adoption because doing it yourself can lead to all sorts of problems.  finding one shouldn't be that big a problem in nyc.

It depends on what you value. If you are looking for diversity and opportunity then the US-although not in the South or the ghetto :D. But the US is also morally decaying so I'd stay away. Go to Norway or Switzerland or England, they all have very forward-thinking leadership but also high taxes. And also the US has too many stupid people who debate things like evolution, abortion, and gay-marriage-which should all be allowed and stated as fact. In the US because still debate these issues which is ridiculous. Im from NJ so its not like Im hating :D

California continues to be the state with the highest proportion of immigrants, with 26.9 percent of residents born abroad in the 2002 count, up from 26.2 percent in 2000, the survey concluded. \n\nAmong large cities, San Francisco and San Jose rank fifth and sixth in the nation, respectively, for their high percentages of foreign-born residents. They rank behind Miami, Santa Ana, Los Angeles and Anaheim. New York is seventh.

There is something like a national birth parent registry I think.  You can probably contact ANY adoption agency for more information.

Assuming the US, then it's Virginia. Otherwise you'll have to provide the country you're asking about.
