Adoption and foster care statistics can guide potential adoptive parents and inform the general population. It is ouradopt.com's intent to collect adoption stats for every possible situation and country. The different statistics pages are organized based on where the adoptive family lives.

"One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic."

- Stalin 

We should never follow in Stalin's footsteps and forget that every number represents a human being with thoughts and feelings of their own.

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

- Benjamin Disraeli

Another common problem with statistics is how they are used to support an argument. This can be an apples and oranges problem where the numbers measures X and the argument is about Y.
