Achieving Permanency for Legally Free Children. The Metrics Plan requires DHS to identify a cohort of children in xxxxxx care who were legally free for adoption but for whom no adoptive placement had been identified. The cohort was to be identified as of March 7, 2013, the day the Metrics Plan was approved. At that time, KIDS did not have a reliable indicator for legally free children in this status. DHS field and analytic staff worked to improve data quality in this area throughout the fall of 2013 and the Co-Neutrals directed DHS to draw the cohort as of January 10, 2014. DHS then submitted a cohort of 292 legally free children with no identified adoptive placement. The Co-Neutrals deem the data submitted sufficient to calculate metric 6.1 and approve the cohort of 292 children.
