Currently accepting Florida families into Family Match!!
Start your adoption journey now!
Over 800 foster children in Florida need a loving forever family. If you are hoping to adopt a child from foster care, Family-Match can help connect you with a child waiting for a home.
The Selfless Love Foundation and Adoption-Share are pleased to bring this groundbreaking technology to Florida families free of charge. Family-Match, a data driven technology with a compatibility assessment designed by the former lead researchers with eHarmony, seeks to decrease the time to adoption placement and match children to families where they will flourish. Participating families with approved home studies will get an unprecedented opportunity to be identified by child welfare workers across Florida, who will begin using Family-Match to connect children with compatible families in Summer of 2018.

HOW FAMILY-MATCH WORKS
- Home Study approved families wanting to adopt a child from Florida’s foster care system are invited to create a profile and complete a compatibility assessment.
- Once the application is fully launched in Summer 2018, our matching algorithm runs nightly, allowing workers across Florida, to identify your family as a potential match for a waiting child.
- Your family receives an inquiry from a placement worker in FL to explore matching you with a waiting child.
- If your family accepts the match, the child is placed in your home and families complete brief post placement assessments at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after placement.
We are excited to help you find your forever family!
