Is Adoption Trauma?
Private infant adoptions in the U.S. have declined nine-fold since the early 1970s and now number about 14,000 a year. International adoptions peaked in 2004 at just under 23,000 and dropped from there, falling to roughly 5,600 in 2015, according to the U.S. State Department (see chart).
Of the more than 100 adoption agencies to close or consolidate in the last 10 years, most specialized in international adoptions, said Chuck Johnson, president of the National Council for Adoption. “As the number of intercountry adoptions declined by 75 percent, they couldn’t stay open.”
But IAC’s abrupt exit also raises questions about its management, along with larger issues about the lack of rules for how agencies manage clients’ money.
Dawn Smith Pliner, director of Friends in Adoption, a nonprofit agency based in Poultney, Vermont, and Ballston Spa, New York, said the writing should have been on IAC’s wall well ahead of its notifying clients at the end of January, and the agency could have taken steps to lessen to the blow to prospective parents.
“When IAC realized it was no longer making enough placements on an annual basis, it should have said, ‘We’re not making as many placements, so we’re going to slow down the number of pre-adoptive families that we bring into the agency’,” Smith Pliner said.
She speaks from experience. In 1996, her agency nearly closed. “I said no new families until we catch up,” Smith Pliner recalled. Friends in Adotpion made a point of informing families that adoptions were likely to take longer than expected, and all of its clients stayed in the program.
“There is a very kind, humane way to do it, and IAC should have taken the time to make a plan,” said Smith Pliner, who noted that one agency often takes on another’s clients when another agency is winding down its business. “They could have handled it differently.”
IAC, which in a statement blamed “societal changes” for its closure, declined further comment.
