The lowest level in 30 years . In France as in other major European countries and the United States, “the number of adoptions declines steadily as countries where these children originate prefer other ways to adopt, including in their own country, and it automatically reduces the number of children available for international adoption, “said a spokesman of the ministry. But France is the fourth country in intercountry adoption, he said. “This represents the number of adoptions lowest in 30 years,” said Béatrice Le Figaro Biondi, director of the French Adoption Agency (AFA), a public operator for international adoption.

In Africa, the number of children taken by strangers should also fall, while Mali closes its doors to international adoption or the number of countries, such as Ethiopia, tightening their control.
