New Adoption by the Numbers Report Shows Private Domestic Adoption on the Rise Post-Pandemic
ALEXANDRIA, VA (March 17, 2025) — A new report, titled Adoption by the Numbers, released by the National Council For Adoption (NCFA) reveals that the number of private domestic adoptions, also known as infant adoptions, have increased in recent years following a decline during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The study shows that private domestic, non-stepparent adoptions increased about 3% between 2019 and 2022. In 2022 there were an estimated 25,503 private domestic adoptions, up from 24,720 infant adoptions in 2019.
Adoption by the Numbers is a research study conducted by NCFA in partnership with the Opt Institute. The report provides comprehensive national-level and state-level tallies on the numbers and types of adoption that occur annually and is the only report of its kind nationwide.

Aysha Schomburg’s recently concluded three-year tenure as one of the nation’s top child welfare officials is among the most historic: Child poverty and calls to Child Protective Services plunged to historic lows after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government rolled out its once-in-a-generation Family First Prevention Services Act to keep more families intact, and racial justice protests drew unprecedented attention to the disproportionate number of Black and Native American children taken into foster care. Now Schomburg – the former associate commissioner of the $10 billion federal Children’s Bureau from 2021 to early 2024 – is making her history outside of government. She has assumed the role of president and chief executive officer for the Manhattan-based New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which describes itself as the world’s first child protective agency.

Ara Marguerite Starner was just 2 years old when she entered the Children’s Home of York in 1929. Her mom was in bad health and worked but did not bring home enough to support her family. It was, indeed, her family because her husband was an absentee father. So Ara entered the orphanage at North Pine and East Philadelphia streets where she would stay until she reached 18.
