Ms Celia Loftus:

We do not have a database for this, although we have asked the Child and Family Agency to formulate such a database. I do not know how many adoptions are disrupted, but anecdotally we are very aware of children who come through particular countries such as Russia in need of massive post-adoption service. They are in systems such as the child and adult mental health process. Although they are not all in care, there are a significant number in care. We do not know what it is exactly.
