  • About Adoption
Adoption creates supportive, loving families for children, teens and adults. There are three types of adoption: adoption from foster care, international adoption and domestic infant adoption. Most adoptions in the United States are through the foster care system. Adoption through the foster care system has little to no cost. ​
 
Colorado is committed to inclusion. There are no restrictions on who can adopt based on race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, physical ability, veteran status, military obligations and marital status. 

All that matters is that you are at least 21 years or older and that you are ready to make a difference in a child or teen’s life at a time when they need you the most. If you have time and patience to commit to helping a young person work through the challenges that often accompany a difficult childhood, we need your help.
