In the past, NYC AC & C reported just the basics, adding the transfers out to their adoption numbers. Starting in 2006 they started reporting using the Asilomar Accords, providing more information. We have combined both reporting methods in the pursuit of presenting and accurate trend over time. This year's reporting system reports most categories as adults or juveniles (up to 5 months). Totals are given first, followed by juveniles.
