ITALY ANNUAL ADOPTION STATISTICS

ITALY ANNUAL ADOPTION STATISTICS Notes as set up by Permanent Bureau Note 4: Note 5: Note 6: Note 7: This number includes adoptions completed in the State of origin and adoptions completed in your State. If your national statistics are compiled according to other age groups, please indicate accordingly e.g. if you only count the number of children under 5, you should combine the two columns here that refer to children under 1 year old and between 1 and 4 years old. Children with special needs are those who may be suffering from a behaviour disorder or trauma, physically or mentally disabled, older children (usually above 7 years of age), or part of a sibling group. Intra-family adoptions include step-parent adoptions. If possible, please indicate separately in this column the number of intra-family adoptions that are step-parent adoptions. If your national statistics do not distinguish adoptions by relatives, please state. Notes by Italian Commissione per le adozioni internazionali Note a) Data not available since due to statistical requirements adoptions with special needs concerning psycho-physical problems were not distinguished for 2005 Note b) National adoptions do not fall within the competence of the Intercountry Adoptions Commission Note c) Data from the Ministry of Justice not yet available 1
