**(Note: These statistics have limitations due to the complexity of capturing various data elements. For instance, the numbers for (foreign) Re-adoptions reflect only the number of children adopted in the country of origin but do not account which agency (in-state or out-of-state) handled the adoption. To get further clarification, call 503.945.5670.)
