* "Waiting for Adoption" means children who are legally free for adoption and not yet in an adoptive placement.

** As recommended by the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to ensure consistency across all HHSC agencies, in 2012, the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) adopted the HHSC methodology on how to categorize race and ethnicity.   As a result, data broken down by race/ethnicity in 2012 and after is not directly comparable to race/ethnicity data in 2011 and before. 
*** Other includes anyone not categorized as African American, Anglo, Hispanic or Native American
