The Adoption Process

The FOJ Adoption Process

We have many more teams than children at this time. If there is a child waiting for placement and within your team’s geographic area, all efforts will be made to place that child as soon as possible with your team. Our adoption coordinators take into consideration the gender, age and situation of each child to ensure a good match.

We ask our teams to take the role of an adopting team very seriously and adopt for the lifetime of the child. Please consider this when enrolling your team in the FoJ program. Thank you for your consideration and patience in this process.

Teams Waiting to Adopt

For teams on “standby’, you may still become actively involved in FoJ. Players and coaches can immediately be a part of the Jaclyn’s Angels Program and support families in their most difficult times of need via our online support program.  Sign up for Jaclyn’s Angels Here.

In addition, many of our standby teams still participate in FoJ Events, including FOJ WEEK and other independent activities such as hosting clinics, walks and sports-related events.
