Inter-Country Adoption Increases (Children's Bureau, 2012) (nov 20, 1960 – jun 2, 1975)

Description:

Intercountry adoptions had been taking place in significant numbers since the Korean War, with the majority of children arriving from Korea (35,000 between 1953 and 1975). Between 1968 and 1975, the number of intercountry adoptions more than doubled to approximately 3,000 per year. In response to this trend, the Children’s Bureau published Tips on the Care and Adjustment of Vietnamese and Other Asian Children in the United States in 1975.
