This report consists of three charts which present data on adoption patterns in New York City in the year 1976. The report is based on quarterly Child Welfare Information Service (CWIS) reports developed by Dave Fanshel and John Grundy. Each chart is accompanied by a brief explanatory text, and a summary of the findings. The charts present data on children still in care waiting for adoption; on the status of children free for adoption at the beginning of the year to the final discharge activity during 1976; and on the match between discharge objective and actual final destination. A chart for comparing CWIS with other agency data is attached as aPPendix. (CM)
