Meet Our Waiting Children & Youth
Welcome and thank you for caring about children and youth in foster care! The following children are currently waiting for a foster-adoptive family or a foster family who is in the position to adopt should the case move in that direction. Both home studied and non-home studied families may inquire.
Rolind, Age 16
Rolind is a really kind, soft-hearted kid who loves to help other people. He enjoys music, swimming, going to the gym, playing sports, playing games, and having a job. He is very family-oriented. We are seeking an adoptive family who would be able to provide Rolind with the support and environment that he will need to reach his full potential. Rolind has an intellectual disability and will qualify for ongoing support services and resources.
Faith, Age 13
Faith is described as a polite, sweet and " just a wonderful kid" with a good sense of humor. She loves animals, especially dogs. Faith enjoys reading teen fiction like the Maze Runner, watching scary movies and shows like The Walking Dead, and eating at her favorite restaurant, Smash Burger. Basically, teenage culture! She is very personable, curious, and enjoys making people laugh. Faith is currently thinking that she'd like to join the army and she recently shaved her head for a sporty style!
Lyncoln, Age 4 *ON HOLD
We are seeking a family who is suited and equipped for a very sweet and adorable 4 year old with special needs, named Lyncoln. Lyncoln has been in his current foster home for almost 2 years and things are going really well. He has made a lot of progress in speech, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. His foster mom works really well with him on all of this. The ideal foster-adoptive family would be very caring, patient, understanding, routine and structured in order to consistently meet his complex medical needs. A family with other kids would be fine; Lyncoln really enjoys other children. We are hoping to find a family as soon as possible that will be able to move toward foster care adoption.
Colton, Age 16
Colton is a funny, engaging and active teen boy. He loves to ride his bike and his scooter. He is described as a thoughtful and sweet kid who loves animals. He's looking forward to getting a job and his driver's license. He enjoys going to church and listening to Christian music. He has a recent charge and will need help navigating next steps. Colton will do well with a supportive adoptive family with older kids who can provide loving structure, clear boundaries and flexibility when needed.
Jarrett, Age 13
Please help us find a family for Jarrett! Jarrett is an active, energetic, creative young man who loves being innovative with legos. He is courteous and has a sweet countenance and needs a family who will be there for him so he can reach his full potential. Jarrett has Native American roots and would love to cultivate his cultural identity. An experienced and trauma-informed adoptive family who will be able to provide Jarrett with focused time, attention, and supervision will be needed. A family with older kids or none at all, would be ideal.
Justine, Age 8
Justine is very creative, loves to dance, loves to do arts and crafts. She takes pride in taking really good care of her dolls and "being a good mommy" to them. She is really social, talkative and playful with other kids. We are seeking a family-oriented and interactive family that will allow Justine and her brother, Matthew, to enjoy being kids while providing routine, structure, academic and therapeutic support that they need.
Matthew, Age 10
Matthew is a really creative child. He's into fantasy characters and superheroes. Matthew also really likes singing, dancing and performance. He is really active and enjoys football, basketball and the social aspect of sports. He also enjoys riding his bike. He goes to church and is active in his faith. We are seeking a family-oriented and interactive family that will allow Matthew and his sister, Justine, to enjoy being kids while providing routine, structure, academic and therapeutic support that they need.
Micah, Age 5
Micah is a happy, energetic and playful child who loves school, interacting with other kids, and exploring the great outdoors. He loves animals and is great with dogs. Micah is autistic and and will require ongoing supportive and therapeutic services. An active, structured, supportive, and nurturing family with one stay-at-home or work-from-home parent would be ideal for meeting Micah's needs. We are seeking a family open to adoption should the case move in that direction. Name has been changed.
