Small Danish Island Boasts High Adoption Rate

The Faroe Islands is a small Danish territory made up of 18 islands between Scotland and Iceland, and has a population of just over 48,000 people. Despite its small size, it has the highest adoption rate - in proportion to population - in the world.
"A dozen adoptions a year may not sound like much. In relative terms however, it amounts to four times more than in France or Denmark, according to official statistics from those countries... 'Everybody wants to have children here,' says [Heoein] Poulsen, who heads a support group for parents hoping to adopt."
Adopted children in the Faroe Islands come from Bolivia, Bulgaria, China, Ethiopia, India, South Africa, South Korea and Vietnam. Though incredibly multi-ethnic, many people say their adopted children have been accepted by others with open arms.

Girls schools, like Bromley Brook in New England, offer classes in math and science for girls who aren't being challenged in public schools. Learn about their private boarding schools for girls at bromleybrook.com.
