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: Imana C06AS01, Cameron C08AB26, Holly C08AB28, Nikki Lee C09AH10, Leo C10AA55, Keith C21AA32, Jessica C21AA37, Alex C21AA65, Sabrina C21AA66, Davionne C22CD84, Sophia C22CF30, Blayne C22CG45, Amber C32AA30, Edward C35AB95, Julie C36AB44, Marcus C36AB92, Tony C38AA71, Emma C40AB34, Shaun C50AA15, Mya C51BO46, Zaahir C51CW32, Kyle C51DL30, Barry C54AA84, Corey C59AB47, DJ C65AD25, Blake C66AA42, Lilah C67AG26, Ava C67AH97 and Aleiah C67AI10.
