Adoption Assistance overlapping FY2025 — CFDA 93.659
The pair is Adoption Assistance × FY2025. $2,168,909,240.17 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 93.659 and fiscal year 2025 on the yearlyTrend table. The FY2025 obligation $2,168,909,240.17 is 10.1% of the CFDA program total of $21,537,270,895.81. This page does not invent the other fiscal-year rows that sit outside FY2025 on Adoption Assistance. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that FY2025 caused Adoption Assistance activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a state ranking or a named adoptive-family list.
SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is ADOPTION ASSISTANCE. The year on the other side is federal fiscal year 2025. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or an awarding-agency code — this packet publishes no awarding agency and no named recipients. Cite $2,168,909,240.17 as obligations on the Adoption Assistance–FY2025 pair. Twenty-five FY2025 awards is not 25 children. FY2026 for the same CFDA is a separate yearlyTrend cell.
CFDA 93.659 as the Adoption Assistance side
CFDA 93.659 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Adoption Assistance. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $21,537,270,895.81 across 336 awards. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the FY2025 cell unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $21,537,270,895.81 as cash Treasury already sent. Agency names, child counts, and subsidy amounts per case are unpublished on this packet.
Open CFDA 93.659 at /programs/93.659/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other fiscal years if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 93.659 in FY2025 only.
FY2025 as the Adoption Assistance yearlyTrend cell
Federal fiscal year 2025 is the time key on this yearlyTrend row. The year hub FY2025 federal spending at /fiscal-years/2025/ rolls up every program that year in the index, not only Adoption Assistance. Reading $2,168,909,240.17 as all FY2025 federal obligations would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one fiscal year, not a Budget Appendix score.
25 FY2025 awards as a CFDA table, not a child census
The extract lists 25 awards on the Adoption Assistance × FY2025 table. That is an award-record count for this yearlyTrend cell, not a census of adopted children. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $2,168,909,240.17 by 25 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable. The program-wide award count is 336, a different denominator.
Caseload rankings this Adoption Assistance–FY2025 join cannot support
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $2,168,909,240.17 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Adoption Assistance in FY2025 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Adoption Assistance expanded in FY2025 because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $2,168,909,240.17 labeled as Adoption Assistance obligations in fiscal year 2025.
Budget justifications, program evaluations, and press releases answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes a different CFDA with FY2025 or a different fiscal year with Adoption Assistance, the chart has left this join. Agency names, child counts, and subsidy amounts per case are unpublished on this packet.
