    The adoption authority would be the place to go to find out how many adoptions were registered in any given year.
    They would also know how many declarations were issued
    The HSE intercountry adoption services, PACT and the cunamh would know how many families are going through the various stages of the assessment process.

    I'm not sure how easily any of the these agencies will share this information though.

    The above is the most recent report available online - tables in section two offer details of domestic adoption orders (including family adoptions), and a similar table listing numbers of applicants.

    Intercountry figures begin on page 41 but are less navigable.
