The adoption of firearms significantly increased the number of fatalities.

But individual adoption agencies report seeing more cases of it, in part, experts say, because over the last few years international adoptions have increased markedly.

The director of operations, Mike Arms, said adoptions were increasing each year.

Although international adoption has increased dramatically, depictions of families created in this way are virtually nonexistent.

In addition, adoptions have increased in the past three years.

Furthermore, adoption has increased most among large hospitals and those in urban areas.

The adoption of certain new farming techniques in the developing world increases the odds that another such strain will soon emerge.

Such adoptions have increased to 50,000 in recent years from 28,000 in 1996.

An economic study in 2008 has found that the adoption of the euro would increase foreign investment in Hungary by 30%.

The adoption of a single currency in Europe has increased the need for dialogue on economic policy.
