The globalization of the adoption industry has caught the attention of UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund): A study shows that only four out of every Nepali children adopted are adopted by a Nepali family. One NGO representative states: “The vast majority of children in centres don’t need to be there. They have family…The first priority, therefore, should be to reunite 80 percent of the children in institutions with their families, not to re-open intercountry adoption.”
UNICEF believes that such corruption “has created a culture of child abuse”.
