In 2019, foreigners have adopted only one child from Kyrgyzstan. The Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the country informed 24-kg.com news agency.
At least 12 small citizens of Kyrgyzstan have been adopted through international agencies in 2017, and 20 — in 2018.
The ministry said that the adoption regulations consisted of corruption elements that allowed employees to agree to unlawful adoption. It is planned to revise them and develop new ones.
