“…In his study of child adoption in Western Europe 1900-2015, Mignot (2019 identified four common trends in adoption law during this period: 1) Adoption was facilitated more, 2) More adoptions were full, rather than simple, 3) Adoption became a legal matter rather than a private contract, and 4) It became more difficult to revoke an adoption. Since 1918, when the first Adoption Act was implemented in Sweden, the rules and regulations have been revised and renewed very much in line with these trends.…”

“…In terms of space, there are always two unequal ends in the adoption chain, and this automatically implies the existence of multiple forms of inequality and important discrepancies between countries (Mignot, 2019). The beginning of the thread lies in the geographical disparities and the inability to raise children in certain areas (Heynen, 2006).…”

This paper aims to investigate an area previously unexplored by human geographers: the spatial and sociodemographic structure of adoptions in Greece during the economic crisis. The main purpose is twofold: (a) to examine potential inequalities emerging either from the gender and age of the adopted child or from the spatial distribution of the children and (b) to capture agglomeration or dispersion clusters of adoptions in Greece. The study employed panel data across the 13 regions of Greece for the period 2011-2018. To detect inequalities in adoptions, demographic and spatial indicators were used as well as specific inequality measures via statistical computing (R). Through thematic cartography and spatial analysis methods, the proximity effects in child adoption during the economic crisis were examined. The results led to the conclusion that crisis periods dramatically affect the rates of child adoption. Both gender and spatial inequalities were intertemporal and particularly high. Greece is marked by uneven geographies calling for new policy measures. Thus, the present paper could serve as a basis for an ‘adoption observatory’ in Greece.

“…En outre, environ 35 % des adoptions sont des adoptions nationales extrafamiliales. Si le nombre d'adoptions nationales de mineurs tend à baisser dans la plupart des pays occidentaux depuis les années 1970 (Mignot, 2019), la tendance est en revanche inverse dans certains pays en développement ces dernières années. Cela s'explique par des mesures prises pour encourager l'adoption par des nationaux plutôt que par des étrangers.…”
