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.

Lemar

August 2006

Lemar desires to have a family of his own. He likes to hang out with his brother or his family and is shy around his peers. Lemar gravitates towards his caregiver and enjoys spending time with them whether it be taking a trip to the grocery store or watching a movie at home. He enjoys relaxing at home. Lemar prefers to play video games, watch his favorite shows, and assist in making home cooked meals. He enjoys going to school and is always the teacher’s favorite. He speaks of being a professional cook and video gamer in his adult future.

Lemar would like to remain in contact with his older brother as they have always been together and are very bonded. He longs to be a part of a family that would be willing to continue those relationships as well as show him unconditional love and support.
