Florida's adoption initiative aimed at promoting the benefits of public adoption. Explore Adoption urges families to consider creating or expanding their families by adopting a child who is older, has special needs, or is a part of a sibling group. Through public education, expanded partnerships, and social media, Explore Adoption invites Floridians to learn more about the children immediately available for adoption in their home state and community.
Adoption provides unique opportunities to change children's lives and enrich the life of the adoptive parent or family that welcomes them in. Adopting one of Florida's children from foster care offers many special benefits.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Many adults are eligible to become foster parents in their state but do not always realize it. Each state in the U.S. has regulations and requirements for licensing foster parents. Florida does not require parents to own a large home or quit their jobs and become stay-at-home parents. Florida foster parents must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Prove good health and ability to care for a child
- Maintain a stable income
- Pass a background screening
- Finish 30 hours of foster parent training
- Complete a Home Study
The required training course is free to aspiring foster parents. It helps parents learn how to foster children and become licensed to provide foster care in Florida.

I moved here from Colorado Springs at the beginning of the year and i applied for both Medicaid and food stamps. Since i had to give those very things up in Colorado or they wouldn't approve me for anything here i was finally able to get food Stamps but the Medicaid part is taking forever...... It's so weird to me that back in Colorado it didn't take several months and so much paperwork to get both Medicaid and food stamps yet here in Florida they take their sweet time even though they have all the information that they need plus they could call Colorado Medicaid to get all my information. I need medical help because i was seeing certain specialists for my conditions i don't know what else to do.

There's no one to talk to. Went to the service building on Robinson St in Orlando 45 mins from where I live in our barely reliable car, just for the security guard inside to tell us they moved to a different location in pine hills! When we Get there we just see a sign saying they are temporarily closed but if there are any questions to call a number that was posted on their sign.wasnt a number for food stamps can someone help!!! I can't get food stamps because of this. I'm gonna have to apply for a 3rd time.

(Translated by Google) What a bad service, you wait for more than two hours on the phones, the treatment is never inappropriate, more than a month trying to communicate with them
