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.

“My name is Savannah, and I am 7 years old. I am in school once a week in the first grade and have an individual education plan. My individual education plan is working on my developmental needs. I have varied interests, including Disney movies and music. My favorite Disney movie is Trolls! When I listen to music, I can’t help but dance and laugh. My love language is physical contact as I cannot speak with words, but I have a smile that will brighten your day. I communicate with eye contact as well. I spent most of my life surrounded by my large family, therefore, socializing with other children makes me the happiest. I enjoy interacting with animals. It’s fun to pet them and watch them run around.

One of my favorite past times is reading books with those around me! Story books let my imagination run wild! I live in a long-term residential facility for children with a revolving door of friends who visit my room.

My mother visits from time to time and will read me books. When I see my siblings, we always have a good time playing together! My family is important to me, and I would like to remain in contact with them. I have medical challenges but am currently stable with around the clock care at my facility. I am looking for a family who will spend time with me, love on me, and help me gain the skills I need.”
