Unfortunately, many children who come into foster care are never able to return to their birth families and thus, become available for adoption. An adoptive family plays a critical role in the life of a child providing a permanent, safe and loving home. The children waiting to be adopted range in age from 0-17, with the majority of them being between the ages of 5 and 17. Some children wait with siblings, and some wait alone. But they all remain hopeful that someone will provide them with the loving family that all children deserve.

• Any adult, over the age of 21, single or married, who can provide a safe, loving home to a child is eligible to adopt. There is no discrimination on race, sexual preference or marital status.
• The time frame to adopt varies depending upon the age of the child desired and the needs and availability of children waiting to be adopted.
• There is no cost whatsoever to adopt a child who is in the care of the State.
• Ongoing financial assistance may be provided to families who adopt sibling groups or children who have medical, emotional or behavioral issues.
• Various support services are available.
