According to nonofficial statistics, Korean and Indian children are the largest number of adoption cases. Because abortion is widespread in Japan, there is an extremely small number of children up for adoption. In Taiwan, every year about 100 infants are adopted.
根據一項非正式的統計，在收養案例中，以韓國、印度的嬰兒最多，日本因為墮胎盛行，被認養的嬰兒極少；台灣每年則有一百多位嬰兒被認養。
