The web site below contains AFCARS Reports published in March 1998 and March 
1999 which contain some of the information you are seeking for children in 
the public foster care system. When you get to this site, click on "child 
welfare statistics" to find these reports.

Hi Bill,

You might try CWLA www.cwla.org  or NCCAN for overall info and can get more 
specific data from various state-specific sites.  For example, we have a 
website and some analyses for California at http://cssr.berkeley.edu

Good luck,

Aron
