At this point, about 8,500 of those 17,000 children are crown wards. In terms of adoptions, since the release of the expert panel report, our adoptions went up 21% last year. We had about 1,000 adoptions. The year before 869 adoptions were started. We also are seeing an increase in other permanency planning options, which is guardianship and kinship care, but we certainly still have a huge number of children.
