The number of children in need of family placement in Russia has decreased almost fourfold over the course of 12 years - from 108,000 in 2013 to 29,000 in 2025. Today, on average, one child in a thousand needs a new family, RBC writes, citing research. In the last five years the situation improved in 70 regions, but worsened in 15. Parents are less likely to deny parental rights, and children are returned to their families more frequently. The number of parents deprived or limited in their rights decreased from 36 thousand in 2019 to 22 thousand in 2025. At the same time, the share of children who manage to find a new family within a year has remained almost unchanged since 2014. In 2025, this figure stood at 76.9% compared to 75.3% eleven years earlier.
