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.

Her hobbies are cheerleading, working out, watching Anima (shows and movies) and being with friends. She doesn’t particularly like school, but she achieves passing grades. She cares about animals; feels they are important, and she has a strong interest in them. Her friends are also important to her. She is also interested in getting a higher education so she can pursue a future in a field she is yet to determine. She expresses how something must be funny to her to make her laugh for example: jokes or situations. Her dream day is breakfast in bed, then going to the mall and going shopping with her friends, then going to the park, then taking pictures in front of the sunset. She expresses how winning things makes her proud. She speaks English, a little Spanish, she knows some sign language alphabet/words and very little Japanese. She wants to make a lot of money; get an exotic animal license and she wants to get a monkey. She likes new trends, dances, being with friends and relatives. She wants to have people around that she would love and care for.

Quote from Lasharel: She says, “Live life to the fullest”. She stated that one of her favorite quotes from past is: “Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee”.
