Users can download data regarding characteristics and adoptive experiences of families of adoptive children. Topics include type of adoption, birth family contact, developmental problems, and adoption support. BackgroundThe National Survey of Adoptive Parents (NSAP) is a SLAITS survey operated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Center for Health Statistics (HCHS) and is sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). NSAP provides information on characteristics, pre-adoption experiences and post-adoption support experiences of families of adoptive children. Topics include, but are not limited to: type of adoption, birth family contact, developmental problems, and adoption support. User FunctionalityUsers can download the survey instrument and frequency counts as PDFs, the codebook into Microsoft Excel and the public-access dataset into SAS statistical software. Data NotesThe NSAP telephone interview was administered to parents (n=2,089) who adopted a child 0 to 17 years of age. Children were identified as being adopted through the US foster care system, domestic private adoption agencies, or in ternational adoption agencies. Parents were identified through the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). Data were collected between April 2007 and July 2008 and are available on a national level.

This data explores the DHHS Children's Bureau data on Children in Public Foster Care Waiting to be Adopted. *There is no federal definition for a child waiting to be adopted. For analytical purposes, the definition used in the table above includes children who have a goal of adoption and/or whose parental rights have been terminated. It excludes children 16 years old and older, whose parental rights have been terminated and who have a goal of emancipation. The # of children waiting to be adopted reported by individual States will likely differ somewhat from those in this table because State definitions vary according to State policies and practices. Because this data are being continuously updated and cleaned, the numbers reported here may differ from data reported elsewhere. This has resulted in an increase in the reported size of the waiting population for fiscal years 2002-2006. This change and other minor changes made to the computer program provide a more accurate picture of the size and nature of the "waiting" population at the end of each fiscal year.

This dataset depicts the number of adopted children during the October 1, 2004 - September 30, 2005 time period. The numbers are categorized and broken down by state. The male and female figures are the percentage that each makes up of the total number of those adopted. This data was collected at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/stats_research/afcars/statistics/gender_tbl1_2005.htm Access Date November 13, 2007.

The National Foster Care & Adoption Directory (formerly the National Adoption Directory) offers adoption and foster care resources by State.

The Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) is a federally mandated data collection system intended to provide case specific information on all children covered by the protections of Title IV-B/E of the Social Security Act (Section 427). Under the Final 1993 AFCARS’ rule, states are required to collect and submit data on all children who are under the responsiblity of the title IV-B/IV-E agency for placement, care, or supervision.

This data explores special needs in adopted children's cases. In the child welfare field, the child characteristics included in the "special needs" category are determined by the State child welfare agency. They always include having a disability and frequently include membership in a sibling or minority group, or older age. ** data from Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland and Washington are questionable due to the large percentage of missing data.

In 1987, the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) questionnaire included a special section that queried female respondents aged 20 through 54 about adoption. Their responses to the supplement are recorded in this dataset, along with other information about them derived from the core 1987 questionnaire. The special section on adoption asked if any children had ever been adopted, the number that were adopted, and whether these children currently lived in the household. Additional questions in the supplement inquired about the two most recent adoptions: how the adoptions were arranged, the adoptive mother's relationship to the adopted children before adoption, when and how old the adopted children were when they began living with the adoptive mother, the date of birth of the adopted children, and whether the adopted children were born in the United States. Variables from the core questionnaire include height, weight, age, race, Hispanic origin, type of living quarters, region and metropolitan status of residence, marital status, veteran status, education, family income, health status, industry, occupation, activity limitation status, medical conditions, restricted activity days in the past two weeks, bed days in the past two weeks and past 12 months, time interval since the last doctor visit, and the number of doctor visits and short-stay hospital episodes in the past two months.
