Definition: Percentage of children adopted from foster care, by length of time between adoption and last removal from home (e.g., among California children adopted from foster care in 2015, 37.3% were adopted less than 24 months after their last removal from home).
Data Source: Webster, D., et al. Child Welfare Services Reports for California. UC Berkeley Center for Social Services Research (Jun. 2016).
Footnote: Data are based on unduplicated counts of children under the supervision of county welfare departments and exclude cases under the supervision of county probation departments, out-of-state agencies, state adoptions district offices, and Indian child welfare departments. The notation LNE (Low Number Event) refers to data that have been suppressed because fewer than 40 children were adopted from foster care.
