During 2015, the majority of children exiting foster care were adopted.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Most moved to independent living
• D. Most were returned to birth parents

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is understanding how children typically exit foster care. In 2015, the largest share of exits was to reunification with birth parents, not to adoption. Adoption was a significant outcome but did not exceed half of all exits. So saying the majority were adopted isn’t accurate. Data from sources like AFCARS show that while many children do find permanent homes through adoption, more exits occur through reunification, with other paths (like guardianship or emancipation) making up the rest.
