Adoptable Kids

Adopting a child can be a rewarding and lifechanging experience. The Division of Children and Family Services is looking for families or single adults from all backgrounds who want to give a safe, loving, permanent home to children who need a family.

  • Most children waiting for adoption are African American and Caucasian children ages 10 and older.
  • Many are sibling groups who need to stay together, teenagers, or children who have special needs (including physical, emotional or mental disabilities).
  • Adoptive families can include relatives, single parents, and same sex couples.


Please take a look at our wonderful Adoptable Kids.

  • If you are a licensed Foster Caregiver or approved Adoptive Family requesting information about a specific child submit an inquiry and we’ll follow up with you.
  • If you are not a licensed Foster Caregiver or approved Adoptive Family please submit this interest form and we’ll get back to you.

Amber loves going to church, playing with dolls, solving educational puzzles, playing on her tablet, watching cartoons and art. She loves to draw. She aspires to go to college and become a Licensed Hairdresser. She also enjoys reading books and has received awards at school for her reading skills. She appears shy at first but slowly opens up. Amber attends school regularly and is doing well; her favorite subject is math. Her favorite past times are skating and watching movies. She enjoys a variety of music as it calms her down. Her favorite color is purple.

Amber understands adoption but is proceeding with caution. She needs a family with an abundance of patience, structure, and love. Amber would also like to keep in contact with a few people who have been an important part of her life whom she cares for a lot.
