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.

M’Layasia
April 2015
My name is M’Layasia and I am going into the second grade. I learn quickly and prefer to be in my classroom rather than remote learning. Some of my favorite things to do are playing outside, swimming, riding my bike and jumping on a trampoline. I also like digging for worms. I love being physically active and am hoping to start gymnastics soon, as I really love doing flips.
When I cannot be outside playing, I enjoy watching Disney movies and dancing. I have a great appetite and am not a picky eater. My ideal family would love outdoors and activities like bike riding and swimming. I would love to have a lot of one-on-one time as well, with someone who is patient and willing to work with me on my homework.
I have a very close relationship with my current foster mother and would like to keep her in my life after permanency. I also have a number of siblings that I would love to maintain a relationship with, especially my two younger brothers.
