Meet Kentucky's Waiting Children
KAPE is the Kentucky Adoption Profile Exchange and is administered by the Kentucky cabinet for Health and Family Services Department for Community Based Services (DCBS). DCBS is the primary adoption agency in Kentucky. KAPE seeks to identify adoptive families for children who are legally free for adoption, meaning that termination of parental rights has occurred and the child does not have an identified adoptive home. There are hundreds of children for whom this is true and there is a critical need for families who can provide a safe, loving and permanent home for these children.
Thank you for considering Kentucky's waiting children. All of the children who are photo listed on this website are legally free for adoption and do not have an identified adoptive family. The children identified in sibling groups must be adopted together. For agency information or for information in regards to the listed children please call (800) 928-4303 or (800) 432-9346.
