Child Adoption Rate Up

The number of children adopted in Tehran Province increased by 34% last year that ended on March 20, compared to the previous year, said Ahmad Meydari, deputy minister of  Cooperatives, Labor and Welfare on Thursday. “Since the new law on adoption was approved in 2015 to facilitate the growth and development of abandoned children or orphans in a family environment, the adoption rate has increased considerably,” IRNA quoted him as saying. Under the revised enactment, every couple, even those who already have a child and qualified single women over the age of 30 can apply for adoption.
