This report presents an analysis of state child welfare data on child substitute care and adoption that was gathered through the Voluntary Cooperative Information System (VCIS) for the years 1990 to 1994.

Through examining trends from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS), federal, state, and local agencies were able to collect data elements which are designed to help policymakers and advocates better understand the population of children and youth who are likely to experience congregate care and what, if any, additional supports may be needed to further reduce reliance on it as a placement setting.
