Adoption assistance, not Foster Care IV-E

Foster Care Title IV-E (CFDA 93.658) is the sibling Kansas child-welfare catalog. Mixing 93.659 and 93.658 would invent a combined adoption-and-foster book. Mississippi 93.659 is a different state key. Mixing those series into $139,038,557 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Kansas, CFDA 93.659, $139,038,557, 5 awards. Agency names, family counts, and county splits are unpublished.

The catalog title names Adoption Assistance, not a ranking of Kansas counties by adoptions. Dividing $139,038,557 by 5 yields about $27.81 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 5 is not an adoptive-family, county, or named-agency census.

Kansas geography on the adoption tag

KS is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Topeka, Wichita, or Overland Park can share the tag. Awards coded to Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Colorado stay outside $139,038,557 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $139.0 million into a child-welfare atlas.

Kansas federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.659 is one row on Kansas programs. $139.0 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Adoption Assistance in Kansas for the filtered table, CFDA 93.659 for the catalog without a Kansas filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $139,038,557.
