Adoption creates supportive, loving families for children, teens
The Colorado Department of Human Services’ goal is to keep children and youth with their birth families. However, there are certain situations in which that is not possible or in the best interest of the child. In those situations, we seek adoptive families for the children and youth in foster care. There is always a need for families, especially for sibling groups and older youth.
Interested in adopting?
The Colorado Heart Gallery is both a traveling photography display and website dedicated to finding families for children and teens in foster care who are waiting for a family. It is a collaboration among CDHS, the Adoption Exchange, counties throughout the state and volunteer professional photographers. Get answers to frequently asked questions and meet many of the children and teens waiting for you today.
