Department of Services for Children, Youth & Their Families, Adoption Program

Responsible for facilitating adoption services for children ages 1-17 who are placed in foster care and have a permanency goal of TPR/Adoption. The services are provided by DFS and/or through a licensed adoption agency in Delaware. These services are for “special needs” children who cannot return home. The Division is looking for families who are willing to make a lifetime commitment to a child in foster care needing permanency. Some information on Delware’s waiting children and the adoption process can be found on the Adoptuskids web site or the DSCYF web site.
