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.

Marcello & Mauricko

April 2012, July 2013
Two kids standing in front of a door.

Mauricko is a future leader who plans to “Change the World”.  She is a straight A, Honor Roll student who loves school, especially her favorite subject of science.  She aspires to go to college when she graduates so she can make a difference.  Mauricko is the only girl in her sibling group, and she is very protective of her brothers.  Those relationships are important for her to maintain.

Marcello is the youngest of the bunch.  He is described as a jokester as he is constantly doing things to make people laugh.  Marcello as has vivid imagination and is a great storyteller.  When he is not joking or telling stories, Marcello also enjoys watching wrestling.  He also enjoys being helpful and thrives from receiving positive feedback.

This sibling group needs a forever family to call their own!  The ideal family for them would be able to provide him with unconditional love and support on a lifelog basis. They would also benefit from continued contact with significant people in their lives.
