* Trend states are those qualified reporting states that reported data in each of the years 1990 to 1994. As the totals are based on the same group of states for each of the five years, they may be compared across years. For the best National Estimate for a single year, use the values in Adoption Exhibit 36A.

† Known Race/Ethnicity Percentages are based on all categories except for "Race/Ethnicity Unknown/Unreported". Therefore, not applicable (N/A) appears beneath that category for this specification.
