It's impossible to definitively say who has adopted the most children in the world. There's no central database tracking every adoption globally, and many adoptions happen privately or within families.
However, we can explore some examples of individuals and organizations known for their extensive adoption practices:
- The Brady Bunch: While fictional, the Brady Bunch family, with its blended family of six children, is an iconic example of a large adoption.
- Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: This famous couple adopted three children from Cambodia, Vietnam, and Ethiopia, adding to their biological children, making them a family of six.
- Organizations like Bethany Christian Services: This organization facilitates adoptions internationally and domestically, helping countless children find loving homes.
It's important to remember that while individual adoptions are impactful, the true impact comes from the collective efforts of organizations and families worldwide.
