Bangkok saw the highest number of adoptive-parent registrations in 2016, with 1,224 residents officially adopting children, Boonruang said. The agency chief offered plenty of tips for people seeking to adopt a child. “It’s best to adopt children aged under six months old,” he said. “If you adopt children aged between three and four years old, they may get angry that you take them away from what they believe is their family,” he explained.
