adoption checklist has been added <strong>for</strong> children who are post-termination and awaiting adoption. A users group <strong>of</strong> the CPRS made up<br />

adoption checklist has been added <strong>for</strong> children who are post-termination and awaiting adoption. A users group <strong>of</strong> the CPRS made up<br />

4 th Quarter Federal Response: For this step, E12 and E13, progress narratives <strong>for</strong> all 3 quarters are exactly the same despite the fact<br />

that progress is noted as 'partially achieved' and 'achieved.' Noted as achieved but no in<strong>for</strong>mation is given regarding impact <strong>of</strong> this<br />

system in pilot county (measurable benchmark). For this step to be achieved, State has to provide some in<strong>for</strong>mation regarding<br />

effectiveness <strong>of</strong> this CPRS enhancement in improving outcomes.<br />

5 th Quarter Report: The report from the CPRS shows that <strong>of</strong> the over 16,000 case plans in the CPRS, 2555 record Adoption as the<br />

Permanency goal (attached). However only 76 case plans include the Adoption checklist that records the steps taken toward adoption<br />

within the CPRS. The State will explore training and data quality issues by next quarter.<br />
