Hi! I would like to request the data for the following: 1) Number of abandoned children, prepandemic (2018) to latest; 2) Number of adoption or foster care centers in the country, prepandemic (2018) to latest; 3) Number of children adopted locally, prepandemic (2018) to latest; 4) Number of children adopted internationally, prepandemic (2018) to latest; and 5) Number of children who outgrew the foster care system in the country, prepandemic (2018) to latest. Thank you!

I would like to have a correction. The years covered for all the requests would be 2015 to latest, not 2018. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you!
