One Church One Child Of Florida, Inc. Children In Spotlight
“In the Spotlight are chil- dren available for adoption into your family.”
One Church One Child of Florida is a faith-based, 501(c)3 organization, operat- ing statewide in partnership with the Department of Chil- dren and Families and local community-based lead agen- cies and their providers, in recruitment of adoptive and foster families and local churches to partner in sup- porting children in foster care and local families through Church Watch-Care Min- istries.
One Church One Child of Florida acknowledges Black History Month. Over 50% of the children who need a per- manent family are minorities.
The series continues fea- turing children all over Florida who are waiting in foster care for a forever loving family to call their own. Feb- ruary’s child is highlighted in this article. Continue to pray for him and consider making him a part of your family through adoption or a part of your church through Project Watch-Care, for support and mentoring.

draw, and he creates very vivid, detailed worlds with paper and crayons. Steven’s favorite animal is the lion, and like most eight-year olds, his favorite place to go is Mc- Donald’s!
He isn’t sure yet what he’d like to be when he grows up, but with his creativity and ability to put his vision on the page, it’ll most likely be something to do with the arts.
Steven has overcome a lot in his young life, and he’s working hard at improving himself. He needs the consis- tency, encouragement and support of an understanding and patient two-parent home to help him continue to grow in the right direction.
