The Adoption Scorecards show the three year average figures on adoption timeliness and are published here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/adoption-scorecards.

The latest figures show the average time between a child entering care and moving in with their adoptive family, for children who have been adopted between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2016.

The department’s main source of information on adoption timeliness is the Children looked after in England including adoption statistical first release published here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-looked-after-children and Table E2 of the national tables found in the link, shows annual figures on adoption timeliness.
