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, and Santino

Santino, the oldest of the three, is always there to lend a helping hand. He not only helps out around the house, but he also makes sure his younger sister and brother are good. Santino enjoys sports, especially wrestling. He likes watching wrestling on tv and hopes to join the wrestling at school. Santino is a good student, and his favorite subject is social studies.

Mauricko is the middle child and only girl of the group. She is very protective of her brothers. Mauricko enjoys dancing and doing art projects. She also loves school especially her favorite subject of science.

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.

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.
