Become an adoptive family
Adoptive parents have the power to change a child’s life forever.


If there is anything we know, it is that children belong with families.
Right now, hundreds of children in the state of Florida are awaiting a forever family. Through no fault of their own, these children could not be safely reunified with their biological families after entering foster care. In these situations, the court determines whether it is in the child’s best interest to terminate their parental rights (TPR). Once the TPR process begins, we start to look for a new forever family for the child.
The average age of a child in foster care waiting for a forever family is 8 years old. Our children are often in sibling groups, or have behavioral/emotional needs that require additional patience, commitment, love and care. Finding families for teens is also a priority.
Please note that it is extremely rare for an infant or toddler to become openly available for adoption. If that is the only age group you are seeking, you may want to consider looking into a private adoption.

For foster children unable to live with their parents due to neglect or abuse, a safe and loving home to “feel normal” again can make all the difference. As a foster parent, you can help provide the love, stability and structure needed during a scary and traumatic time.

Use your unique perspective to become a positive role model and champion for foster youth — help nurture valuable academic, social and emotional skills.

In an ideal world, no child would have to enter foster care. Support our efforts to prevent abuse and neglect by helping us to address child abuse prevention, family stability and youth success.
