I did the percentages for the domestic column:
domestic adoptions (% of total adoptions)
1999: 1726 (41.74%)
2000: 1686 (41.67%)
2001: 1770 (42.08%)
2002: 1964 (45.36%)
2003: 1564 (40.61%)
2004: 1641 (42.08%)
2005: 1461 (41.01%)
2006: 1332 (41.22%)
2007: 1388 (52.33%)
2008: 1306 (51.09%)
I can't really draw causality between lots of publicity on part of TRACK and others in Korea this year and the 1.3% decrease in domestic adoption out of total adoptions. It doesn't necessarily conclude that the activism isn't working per se...there are just other factors which are out of the political reach of such activism. What I'm interested in now is the huge 10% jump in 2007. What was that?! A widely read book? Movie? Interesting condition probably.
