About Explore Adoption

A message from the Governor and
First Lady of Florida

Dear Floridians and Friends
We believe there are loving, caring families willing to open their homes and their hearts to Florida's children - enough for each and every child in state care to find a forever family.

Your family may be considering adoption for a number of reasons. Families without children may want to experience the joy of sharing life with a child. Some families with grown children find their homes empty and too quiet. Others want to help children in a meaningful way.

Once you meet the children and sibling groups available for adoption, your heart will be touched by their wish to experience love and permanency within a family.

Florida's public adoption system offers unique benefits, including a legally secure process, financial assistance and children waiting right now for homes.

Explore Adoption - it may lead to a new life with a wonderful child, a new family and some very special memories.

- Governor Rick Scott and First Lady Ann Scott
