The number of international adoptions decreased significantly in Denmark over the past decade. The highest number of international adoptions in Denmark occurred in 2010 when 418 children were adopted from abroad. By comparison, only 32 children were adopted in 2021. The low numbers in 2020 and 2021 must be seen in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, but this does not change the trend of the falling number of international adoptions.
