← Data centreAdoption case data: Juvenile Court of Roma
Independent analysis of government records. Numbers describe proceedings or children as defined by each original publication, not the likelihood of adoption or predicted waiting times.
Annual figures by legal category
Tables separate new, completed and year-end pending court proceedings. The pending count is not a register of children awaiting families and cannot predict personal matching times.
