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.

Jaylen

January 2007
young man standing and smiling

Jaylen is an affectionate, pure soul. He is mostly non-verbal. However, he does use a talking device that allows him to communicate his needs and wishes. He loves giving hugs, high fives, and other forms of physical affection. He loves going on his weekly outings to Taco Bell, Burger King, and Chic-fil-A.

Jaylen is very organized, clean, able to do chores, and take pride in his appearance. Jaylen would benefit from a patient, loving family, that will nurture him and help him thrive.
