Adoption is a wonderful option for biological parents who wish to relinquish their rights and responsibilities and still give their children the best life possible. An overwhelming majority of adoptees report having a positive adoption experience. Considering adoption as a loving alternative to abortion? Here are a few adoption satisfaction statistics you should know:
Over 90% of adoptees over the age of 5 expressed positive feelings about their adoption
There are 1-2 million couples waiting to adopt every year. These couples have hearts for adoption and are eager to give adoptees the lives they deserve. Many birth parents considering adoption fear they will not be the parent their child needs. The beauty of adoption is that it not only provides an opportunity to enrich the lives of those eagerly waiting to adopt but also the children who deserve parents that can fully provide for them physically and emotionally. And that’s exactly what the majority of adoptees experience, as over 90% of adoptees over the age of 5 report having positive feelings about their adoption experience.
85% of children who are adopted are in excellent or very good health
For those considering adoption, their child’s well-being is often their greatest concern. Can they trust someone else to care for their child—ensure they are clothed, well-fed, and loved? Well, research shows that the majority of adopted children are in great health! Biological parents can rest assured knowing that the life they created will be in good hands.
Adoptees are more likely to participate in extracurricular activities
Enrichment is an important part of childhood development. Participation in extracurricular activities enhances a child’s social and academic experience. It is also an important element in socialization and producing happiness.

Adoption is a loving option which can benefit all — women, children born and unborn, and couples yearning for a family. Look around! You probably know someone who has been adopted and been blessed by it.
