The largest number of abandoned children are girls who dominate 56 percent of the total, and boys with 44 percent.

Last year in Gjakova 4 children have gone to family reunion, five in Mitrovica, three in Prizren. A total of 23 children.
Meanwhile, 21 children have been adopted by other parents, 18 locals and 3 internationals. We remember that according to Social Centre data, international parents mostly adopt disabled children.
