. But in the December 1, 2014, only 935 children of all nationalities were welcomed by French, “the newspaper said. “This represents the number of adoptions lowest for 30 years, says Beatrice Biondi, director of the AFA (French Adoption Agency), a public operator for international adoption. If we manage to 1,050 international adoptions, there will be a decline of about 22% compared to 2013. “

This symbolic figure is part of a dramatic fall context for many years, says Le Figaro, detailing, “in 2013, 1,343 children arriving from abroad have been adopted by families living in France. They were 3,504 in 2010 and nearly 4,000 in 2003 “. In this context of decline which also affects the United States and all European countries, France remains the fourth largest country in intercountry adoption, says one in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, writes the daily.

New rules with Russia

The decline should logically continue, says Le Figaro. Russia will stop the individual in adoption applications to only accept files submitted by accredited bodies for adoption (OAA) or AFA, responsible for supporting parents in their efforts and secure processes. However, it is the first country of origin of children adopted in France, tied with Vietnam. Moreover, the number of African children collected by foreign should also fall while Mali closes its doors to international adoption or number of countries, such as Ethiopia, tightening their controls. If the adoption was not blocked in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 50-80 adoptions more would have been done in 2014, said the Foreign Ministry, the newspaper said.

Some 20,000 candidates for adoption have a valid license, document required to collect a child, says Le Figaro.
