Consider adopting older youth. In Pennsylvania, youth can remain in foster care until the age of 21. Many of the matching events listed on this page provide families with opportunities to meet older youth in care who are in need of permanency. Even though many of these youth are on their way to young adulthood, they continue to need permanent connections and a family to support, love and care for them. To learn more about this group of older youth please visit the Waiting Children section, and use the Search Kids tool and search by age range 17 to 21.

We celebrate upcoming birthdays for: Brooke C02AC32, Simon C04AA20, Nikki C04AA44, Austin C06AW30, Josh C08AB27, Bug C22CF48, Marvin C22CF76, Khani C25AB39, David C25AB74, Ethan C30AB79, Donte C32AA37, Saquon C34AA08, Lukas C35AB74, Nelson C36AA98, Elizabeth C36AC16, Matthew C36AC18, Hope C37AA63, Jason C39AE31, Abby C40AA93, Natalie C40AB12, Jasha C41AC13, Jasmine C43AA43, Corey C50AA03, Barack C50AA12, Dorell C51BK27, Liliana C51CH80, Zamare C51CO62, Jamil C51CT65, Nicholas C51DA95, Linda C54AA76, Scott C63AA84, Tack C63AA88, and Kolin C67AG95
