Adoptions by citizenship of adopters

This metric shows how many children were adopted in Armenia each year, and whether the adopters were citizens of Armenia or foreign citizens. The chart covers 2010 to 2025.

In 2010, 120 children were adopted: 59 by Armenian citizens and 61 by foreign citizens. From 2012 to 2018, foreign citizens adopted more children than Armenian citizens every year.
