Domestic Adoption Placements
How many placements does your agency make on average each year? And how many couples are in the waiting pool at one time?

Re: Domestic Adoption Placements
100-150
100-150
15-20 a year
10-20 waiting
last year's stats:
50-60 waiting
51 babies placed
{edited: 50-60}
5-15
no more than 20
65 placements in 2008
Around 10-15 waiting families at a time (I think)
So far this year our agency has done:
Domestic infant placements: 33
International children: 116
There are about 70 couples waiting right now
Last year they did:
Domestic: 76 placements
International: 171
American Adoptions places all of the couples waiting on their site so you always know how many there are.
They place over 300 babies every year.
They currently have 128 families waiting for a placement of a white/hispanic baby (most likely about 25-50% of these families are in matches but awaiting the birth of their child).
They currently have 11 families waiting for a placement of an AA/B-R baby (most likely 100% of these families are in matches and awaiting the birth of their child).
They also have a very low disruption rate due to some processes they have in place and the fact that they back-up their adoptions financially so there is very little to no at-risk fees.
