Jacksonville's Children
First Alert Weather Alert: RED FLAG WARNING
Recent Featured Children
Loading ...
Todd - 16
Being a parent takes time and patience, but it seems Todd's biological parents didn't have much of either. That's how this 16-year old ended up in foster care.
Travis - 15
This teen did the unthinkable two years ago. Travis severed all legal ties to his birth mother, by asking a judge to terminate her rights as his parent because of drugs and alcohol.
Elizabeth - 16
There's a certain anxiety that's common among teens who are up for adoption. They fear potential parents only want babies, and the closer they get to 18, the more that anxiety grows. But 16-year old Elizabeth believes her dreams of adoption can still come true.
Brendan - 12
For years, Brendan has seen other kids come and go in the foster care system. He's always been left behind wondering when will he finally get adopted and go home too.

CLAYTON - 14
What makes Clayton such a likeable teen, is his enthusiasm and zest for life.
Ian -13
We first interviewed Ian for Jacksonville's Children three years ago. He's taller now and has longer hair, but one thing is the same, he's still hopeful for a family.
Wesley - 10
When Wesley was younger, he was saved from abuse in his home. He needs another hero now, this time to offer him a "forever family".
Maiya - 10
Eventhough Maiya has been in the foster care system for several years, she has great patience. She's waiting for for the perfect parents to find her.
Jasmine - 10
Jasmine is just 10-years-old. She was one of the first kids we featured on Jacksonville's Children.
Ayesha
When we first introduced you to Ayesha last year, she was with her little brother Roy and baby sister Shirley.
Brandon - 15
Life's been a hard, lonely road for this 15-year-old. Brandon told us the reason he was taken to foster car was because he had seen more and any child should see.
Jacob
If you’ve never witnessed a miracle, you’re looking at one in Jacob. I consider Jacob a champion fighter.
Jollil
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Like most 13-year olds, Jollil likes great clothes, talking on the phone to his friends and cool cars. When he's at school he fits in just fine with the other kids. They talk sports, homework assignments and when they can meet up at the mall. But Jollil hates when the topic of family comes up. He doesn't want his friends to know he was abandoned by his mother and his father. He doesn't want them to know, he's been in foster care since he was just a baby.
Dontre, 14-years old
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Dontre has been in foster care since he was only 6. He's now 14-years old. Dontre says it's his faith that keeps him going, but it's been tested a time or two.
Kishaud, 11
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Imagine living in Florida and wishing one day, you could enjoy a day at the beach. That was reality for Kishaud. His first trip to the beach was only a few months ago. His foster family took him for a day in the sun and he had a blast. We want to make another big wish happen for this 11-year old, adoption.
Matthew 10, Savannah 12, Cynthia 13, John 14
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - We don't think three is a crowd, in fact, we feel "four" is downright fantastic. You have to meet Matthew, Savannah, Cynthia and John for yourself to understand. All four brothers and sisters are up for adoption and they're hoping someone special, will find them special and invite them all home--together.
Collin & Christian, 10-years old
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - It's like looking in the mirror at your own refection, only that reflection talks back and moves independently! Collin and Christian are 10-year old twins, who are hard to tell apart. They complete each other's sentences and love all the same games and sports.
Demari, 9-years old
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - What most of us take for granted, 9-year old Demari would cherish. Demari dreams of one day having a mom and dad to call his own.
Christina, 13-years old
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - It's her heart-breaking truth. Her father chose his new wife over his children. Christina was given up for adoption a few of years ago, when the woman he married decided, their future together didn't include children from a previous marriage.
