ANALYSIS-Hong Kongers troubled by unrest look for new homes abroad

HONG KONG/MELBOURNE/VANCOUVER, Sept 13 (Reuters) – As protests in Hong Kong stretch from summer into autumn with little sign of resolution, a surge in migration applications suggests more locals are making plans to leave the special administrative region. Requests for police-record printouts, which cost HK$225 ($29) and are only issued for visa applications or child adoptions, jumped 54% to 3,649 in August compared with last year. In 2017, the most recent year for which figures are available, there were 75 adoptions in Hong Kong, a number comparable to previous years.
