Meet the Tennessee Kids

Thank you for visiting Tennessee's photo-listing website to learn more about our children. Approximately 300 Tennessee youths are waiting to become part of a forever family. Most of the children available for adoption are older and have special emotional, behavioral or educational needs. More specific information about any of them can be shared with an approved adoptive family by calling a child's case manager.
