More than 38,000 Iranian families have applied for adopting children over the past three years amid efforts by Iran’s Welfare Organization to facilitate the process of child adoption.
“A total of 9,372 families applied for child adoption in the year to March 20, 2023. With regards to the number of families that had applied for child adoption over the past three years, the number of total applicants surpassed 38,000,” Saeed Babaei, an official with the Welfare Organization, told IRNA.

Babaei noted that most child adoption applications pertained to the provinces of Tehran, Khorasan Razavi, Isfahan, Mazandaran and Kerman respectively.
