This dataset contains aggregate data concerning the number of unique children placed in open DCF placements on the observation date (July 1st each year). These figures are broken out by the DCF Region and Office responsible for the child's care, the child's Gender, whether the placement setting is in or out-of-state, and by the categorical Placement Type in which the child is residing on the observation date.

This dataset contains aggregate data concerning the number of children that exited DCF care to an Adoption. These figures are broken out by the DCF Region and Office responsible for the child's care, by their Race/Ethnicity, and by whether their exit from care occurred within 24 months of their entry to care or not.

Please note that these figures do not represent unique children, and so should not be used as the basis for creating a rate based on the child population of the state. These data form the basis of measurement for the Juan F. Consent Decree Exit Plan Outcome #8: Adoption Within 24 Months, although those figures are reported to the DCF Court Monitor on a quarterly rather than annual schedule.
