Explore adoption from foster care and find out how you can help the hundreds of kids in Massachusetts who need permanent families.
Children of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds are waiting to be adopted in Massachusetts. When you make the choice to adopt, you have the chance to start or expand your own family and give a child in need safety, stability, and love.
Adoption provides a permanent, supportive home for a child. The Department of Children and Families (DCF) cares for children of all ages, from infancy to 18, and from all ethnic and economic backgrounds. Most of the children waiting to be adopted are between 6 and 12 years old.
Generally, you should file your adoption with your local Probate & Family Court. Sometimes adoptions are filed in Juvenile Court or in District Court. Adoptions are only filed in Juvenile Court when they have a pending case involving that child, usually through a care and protection case that moves to a termination of rights case.
