Jude Jacob Adams Foster (born Jude Jacob) is the 14 year-old , maternal younger half brother of Callie Adams Foster and the son of Donald Jacoband his deceased wife, Colleen Jacob. He is also the adopted son of Stef Adams Foster and Lena Adams Foster, as well as the adopted brother of Brandon Foster, Jesus Adams Foster and Mariana Adams Foster and the younger cross-brother of Sophia Quinn.
Jude has suffered through hard times - having lost his mother to a drunk driving accident and his father to prison before being sent, alongside his elder sister Callie, into the foster system where he would be bounced through various foster homes. Despite his rough upbringing, he always managed to have a good conscience and a bright outlook on life. It wasn't until he met the Fosters that he finally found his "forever home".
Jude is portrayed by Hayden Byerly.
Biography
Jude is Callie's younger maternal half-brother, whom she rescued from an abusive foster father's house in the pilot episode. Jude and Callie do not learn of their half-sibling status until the season 1 finale, having always believed they were full siblings.
When Callie was ten and Jude was six, their mother passed away in a car accident that their father's drunk driving was responsible for. Consequently, their father went to prison for manslaughter since he had also killed other people. As a result of having no relatives to care for them, Callie and Jude were placed into the foster care system for six years. Their time in the system is implied to be rough and abusive. After they entered the foster care system, Callie took Jude under her wing and became completely focused on protecting him, becoming somewhat of a parental figure to him.
Despite often moving house to house while in foster care, which proved to be hard on him and his sister, Jude is a rather quiet and often peaceful child. While usually not being in a particular foster home for long, even becoming accustomed to this pattern, he always enjoyed the good homes he sometimes did get to live in. Callie, however, would often encourage him not to get too attached to the good homes.
While it has been stated that Jude has been abused by at least one foster parent, which Callie described as "getting the crap beaten out of him", he hasn't let such treatment hinder him and is always a pleasant person. Whether he was abused by other foster parents and the extent of his abuse in the system is left unknown and mostly unmentioned.
After being taken in by the Adams-Foster family, Jude finally finds his "forever home", and is eventually adopted even though Callie had trouble getting adopted herself.
Physical appearance
Jude is a young boy with short dark brown hair and brown eyes. Jude's appearance changes over the course of the series as he develops into an adolescent. In season 1, he is a somewhat short young boy who has yet to really physically develop. However, from season 2 to season 3, he has considerably grown to where he is at least a foot taller - almost taller than Callie - and his voice has deepened significantly. Also, his cheeks have become more slender.
The clothing Jude wears is usually casual, mostly regular jeans and T-shirts that consist of a similar design. However, when it comes to formal events (such as dances and events like his adoption or Father's Day brunch), he always dresses in a suit or in a more proper manner.
Series
After Callie is sent to juvie and shortly released to the Fosters, Jude is left to continue living with his abusive foster father. After Callie calls him using Brandon's cell phone, assuring she is coming for him, Jude keeps calling the number to get into contact with Callie. During one of the calls, Brandon mentions the number repeatedly calling him and Callie answers one of Jude's calls and tries to talk to Jude, desperate to know if he is okay. However, he is quickly taken off the phone by the foster father. She tries to leave to go to him and get him out of the house, but Brandon demands answers. Callie finally tells him that Jude is her younger brother, and she refuses to leave him with their foster father and must get to him. Brandon refuses to let her go alone and decides to go with her.
Once at the foster house, Jude is seen on screen washing dishes as Brandon tries to act as a distraction to allow Callie to see him. However, their plan quickly fails and a violent fight ensures with the foster father who begins waving a gun around, threatening to shoot as Jude covers his ears. Stef and Mike quickly arrive and stop the situation from escalating further and Callie embraces Jude, who desperately clings to her. Callie and Jude are reunited and leave together arm in arm as Brandon explains to Lena that Jude is Callie's brother.
While talking to Callie, Stef tells her how things could have gotten really bad if they hadn't arrived when they did. However, Callie says she doesn't care if she is sent back to juvie - only wanting to be assured that Jude will be somewhere safe. However, Stef refuses to allow Callie to be sent back to juvie. She and Lena allow Jude and Callie to stay with them for the time being.
Jude is with Callie at the Foster house, having breakfast, and enjoying some pancakes. When Stef and Lena try to contemplate what to do with Jude and Callie, since Lena no longer feels comfortable with Callie after the previous episode, Stef watches Jude climbing a tree in their back yard from the kitchen window.
Later, Jude begins school at Anchor Beach where Lena tells him which section of the school to stick to. When hearing he could run into Callie, Jude becomes visibly happy. During class, Callie looks for him and sees him in class through the window. She taps on the window to get Jude's attention. Seeing her, Jude excuses himself from class and leaves to go see Callie. Outside, she asks if he is okay. He says that he is fine, much to her relief. Callie then asks if he talked to Bill, which he did. Callie wonders if Bill "said anything" to Jude. Jude tells her that he said "hi", but nothing else. He then goes back to class.
At home, Callie helps Jude with his math homework. After helping him, Callie goofs around with Jude. He then asks how long they will stay at the Fosters house, but Callie doesn't know. He then gets back to his homework. Later, Jude wanders into the kitchen where he asks Lena if there are any chores he can do. Lena is confused at his request, and he explains how since all of his former foster homes were aware he wouldn't stay long, they'd give him chores to do in the meantime. Lena asks him to help set the table for dinner. As he helps out, he asks if she and Stef are married. Lena says no, legally, but they are "married in their hearts". Jude answers how that is more or the less the same thing, which makes her smile.
After this, Lena and Stef call a family meeting. They reveal their decision that they are not in a financial position to keep Jude and Callie there, but do wish for it to be their last foster home while Bill tries to find them a permanent family. They tell them that since their stay could be anywhere from a week or a year, they'll need to make proper preparations. They've ordered some beds and arranged for Callie and Jude to share rooms with Mariana and Jesus, much to the latter's dismay.
After school the following day, Jude recalls to Callie how he met a boy named Connor in class who was nice to him. He has also begun reading the book A Wrinkle in Time, but doesn't understand it. When coming home, Mariana is told to take him upstairs while Lena and Stef talk to Callie. As he does, Jude looks down after her in concern.
Jude is rushing along with a busy Foster household morning. He sneaks into the bathroom as Brandon is distracted. Brandon gets frustrated with Jude, and Jude promises he will be out soon because he just needs to use the bathroom, only to take a quick shower instead. Afterwards, Jude joins the breakfast table beside Callie.
Later, he learns from Lena how he must pass an exam to stay at Anchor Beach Charter School. For the test, Jude has to get at least a passing grade of 65 percent. Both he and Callie are deeply upset by being possibly separated again, but Lena promises them that she will prep him for the test. He is then seen studying with Lena for math, his weakest subject. When Brandon comes in and appears bothered, Lena tells Jude that he did some really good work and to head upstairs for bed.
When studying with Lena again, he is gradually frustrated by his misunderstanding of math. Jude then suggests that perhaps he is just not smart, but Lena assures him that he is especially given he's been at six different schools in six years. He then corrects her that he's been to seven different schools in six years, getting back to work. He then joins the family in game of Monopoly, having fun. Later, he walks in on Callie having a fight with Mariana for, supposedly, reading her journal. As Callie walks out, he asks her why she can't just get along with her. Callie hands him the journal, where he realizes she had written about Liam.
At school the following day, Jude is taking his test when Lena tells him his time is up. As he heads out, he asks how all he needs is a 65 and he can stay there, and Lena assures him that everything will be fine and that she is proud of him. However, when she grades his work, it is clear Jude will not make it. Hesitantly, Lena changes one of his answers so that Jude just barely gets a 65 percent - ensuring he can further remain with Callie at school.
Later on, Jude is with the family while watching a movie and doing his writing assignment. He brings up how he needs to name his antagonist in his English paper and as the family give him names, Tayla suggests the name 'Liam'. Realizing that she is the one to have read Callie's journal, he glances back at his sister.
At home, he helps make dinner by cutting up some cucumbers. When Mariana invites Callie to be in her court for her quinceanera and reveals she is required to wear a matching gown, much to Callie's disdain, Jude giggles to himself. Later, he nearly walks in on Lexi and Jesus making out in the bathroom.
When Jesus walks back in the room, Jude is watching him in suspicion. After Stef comes in, thanking Jude for helping with dinner, talks with Jesus before leaving. As Jesus closes the door, Jude stares at him. Jesus asks what's up, and Jude says nothing while smirking. When Lena's mother, Sharon Elkin, drops by in celebration of the twin's birthday, he and Callie meet her and properly introduce themselves. She warms up to them, even saying she has plenty of gifts for them as well. After getting dressed, he walks in on Tayla and Callie sharing a tense moment, unaware of it.
He is later seen enjoying the party and clapping as Callie, Lexi, Mariana and Jesus come out for the waltz and dance. When Callie and Brandon are about to dance the scheduled waltz, he is seen looking back to see Tayla's bitter reaction. Later, he and Callie watch Jesus and Lexi together. While Callie is confused, Jude explains they have a thing for each other. Callie wonders how he knows, to which he responds that he "pays attention". He then calls her out for her romantic tension with Brandon, causing her to insist she isn't stupid. However, he says that she makes stupid choices. Just then, a pretty blonde girl taps him on the shoulder; she asks if he wants to dance. He accepts and is later seen dancing, having a good time.
When Stef and Lena show a slide show to the guests of Mariana and Jesus' time with Stef and Lena, he and Callie are shown hugging and beside each other. Jude and Callie slightly sad while seeing the twins memories and happy childhood with Stef and Lena, bringing Callie to nudge Jude and hug him again. When the family brings all the kids up for a family photo, they both initially decide to stay seated. However, the family urges them to come up as well for the photo.
After a small party and gathering at the Foster house, Jude is seen helping the family clean up and handling the remainder of food left over. When Lena suggests the family going to Garret's poetry slam, Jude agrees to go as he zip locks some bread. He later shakes hands with a leaving Wyatt, saying it was nice to meet him.
The next day, while Mariana is painting her nails, he tells her that the color is pretty when she asks if it looks good with her outfit. After a moment, she offers to paint his nails for him. As she does, she asks him if anything new is going on in his life and if he's made any new friends. He tells her about a boy in his math class, named Connor, who he is becoming friends with. Callie then comes in to get her bag and, seeing the nail polish, tells him not to wear the nail polish to school. He is visibly upset over this until Mariana tells him he does not always have to do everything Callie says. Feeling encouraged, he decides to wear the nail polish to school.
Jude and Connor are then seen walking out of class while talking about the large fish he caught. Connor asks if he has ever gone fishing, and he remarks he's never even been on a boat. Connor invites him to tag along with him and his dad sometime, much to Jude's happiness. Connor leaves to go get his forgotten class book when some boys seize the chance to tease Jude about his nail polish. Jude stands up to them, telling them to grow up, bringing one of the boys to slam Jude against the locker wall. Connor comes back by then, but watches in reluctance. A teacher comes by and stops the bullying from escalating, sending the bullies to the office, as Jude and Connor lock eye contact. Jude rushes off.
While Jude plays video games, Lena asks him if he is okay. Jude assures her that he's fine. She then sits next to him and tells him that if he wishes to talk, he can to her. At this moment, Callie enters the room. Callie asks what's going on and Lena just says her brother had a rough day at school. Callie wants to learn what happened, and Lena explains how other boys noticed his blue nail polish. Callie then scolds Jude for not taking it off even after she told him too. She then yells at him to take the nail polish off immediately, and Jude yells at her to stop bossing him around before storming off.
After this, Lena finds Jude upstairs struggling to take the nail polish off. She helps him with it and talks to him, telling him how at home, she and Stef hold hands and kiss. However, when in public, they sometimes don't. Jude asks why, and Lena says how there are people out there who wish to hurt people like Stef and her and this pressures her into being afraid. She tells Jude how this makes her mad at the people wanting to hurt her as well as at herself for caving into them. Taking his hands, she assures him how there is nothing wrong with him for being different. Going on, she says what's wrong are the people who make them feel unsafe and he shouldn't be ashamed of who he is.
The next day, Jude is eating lunch alone while wearing blue nail polish when Connor comes and sits with him. Looking up at him, Jude sees Connor proudly wearing blue nail polish like as well. Smiling, they eat in comfortable silence.
At home later, Jude is making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich when Callie comes in. He offers half and, when noticing painted nails, she asks why he's still wearing that. He says he likes it. She demands he take if off before "he gets a black eye to match it". Standing his ground, he says no. She retorts if he wants to get beat up again, and he sarcastically says yes. She then tells how it can be easy to feel comfortable there, but that it isn't their home and he shouldn't get too invested in the Fosters. Jude asks why not, asking if she actually wants a family. He says he likes them, and maybe it isn't forever, by that they should enjoy it. She tells him that he's going to get hurt. Giving her a flat look, he tells her that he "already hurts". He then walks away from a silenced Callie.
That night, he joins the family in going to Garret's poetry slam. He goofs around with Jesus before, along with the family, being stunned in Mariana's new self done nose piercing. He asks if it hurt, to which she says a bit. As Stef and Lena agree they will deal with her afterwards, he joins in leaving the house. At the poetry slam, as Garret laments on the tragic ending of his family with his mothers' divorce and how lucky he was to have such a loving family, Jude and Callie share a brief look. He is seen also enjoying the rest of Garret's passionate poem, and clapping as it ends.
Jude is at school in his science class where they are given the instruction to pick a partner for the assignment to make DNA or RNA. He anxiously looks around, watching everyone instantly finding a partner. However, Connor looks over to a lonely Jude and asks if he wishes to be his. Jude nods, and Connor asks if he could if he can come over his house because his mother doesn't like having other kids over. Jude says he can, but he'll have to ask. Connor says to let him know and goes back to his seat. Jude smiles happily to himself, realizing he has a friend.
Later at home, he walks in on Stef and Lena having a brief argument, and asks if he should ask them about Connor coming over later. They say yes, and asks what he wants. He nervously tells them that his class has to build a DNA model, and they have to work in pairs, and he was wondering if his friend Connor could come over. Lena asks if that's all, and he says yeah. Lena and Stef tell him it's fine if Connor comes over. He smiles and is excited that his friend can come over.
The next day, with all the Lexi missing drama, Lena forgot Connor was coming over. As he comes in, Jude runs down the stairs and greets Connor. The two then hurry upstairs and begin to do their assignment.
While upstairs. Connor is going on about a football player, a team and why they shouldn't have let him go, after seeing a Jersey (thinking its Jude's when it's Jesus's). He asks Jude who's his favorite player. Jude doesn't know what to say; he doesn't own the Jersey nor does he watch football. He comes out and tells Connor that the Jersey is Jesus's. Connor sees Jesus's skateboard and thinks it's Jude's. Jude tells him everything in the room is Jesus's, and shows him his little few things. Connor seems surprised as Jude tells him when he moves around a lot, things get lost or stolen. Connor tries to make him feel better by saying another student is a jerk for always going on about everything he has but Jude doesn't realize it. He asks him why he doesn't say anything bad about the other boys and the people who bully him. Jude tells him what's the point as it doesn't make him feel any better. Connor takes this in.
While working on the DNA project, Jude asks Connor if he can show him something. He grabs a key chain and a pocket knife with his real dad's initials carved on it. He tells him it doesn't work anymore, but he loved the fact that his dad carried it around with him, and it's basically the only thing he has left of him. Connor asks where his dad is. Jude tells him he's in jail, but then makes up a lie. He says that his father was in jail and eventually got out. He goes on saying that he's made a lot of money and he lives on an island now. Connor seems skeptical of this, but as Jude goes on the lie gets worse as he tells them he has nice cars, a pool, the house is on the beach. He continues saying that his father will get him and Callie someday. Connor asks him why he's lying. Jude denies this, but Connor tells him that he doesn't need to lie to seem cool. Jude seems embarrassed by this. Connor quickly puts this behind him, and pulls out his PSP. He asks Jude if he would like to play the game, and gives it to him. Jude has never really seen something so cool, and Connor seems to be happy that Jude is happy.
After working all day, Connor's mother comes to pick him up. Jude tells Stef and Lena he's leaving, and Stef volunteers to walk Connor out. However, Jude says he'll do it. As he's walking Connor to the door, he gives Jude his PSP and tells him to keep it. Jude tells him that he can't keep something so expensive, but Connor tells him that he wants Jude to keep it. He leaves the house as Jude smiles.
It is mentioned by Callie that Jude is staying the night at Connor's for a sleepover and doubts he is aware of what happened to Stef, regarding her shooting. Later, while all the teenagers are home alone, they hear a knock at the door.
Cautious due to the late time, they ask who is at the door and Jude reveals it to be him. They let him in, with Callie demanding to know why he came home so late. He says he heard about the shooting and wasn't able to sleep since he wanted to be with everyone. Callie reminds him about Connor and when his parents wake up to find him gone. He says that he left a note for Connor to find and walked home by himself for the remaining blocks. Callie tells him to never do a dangerous thing again and hugs him.
As everyone returns to the hospital, waiting for news about Stef's condition, he can be seen waiting with them as well. Seeing Lena alone and worried, he sits beside her before putting his hand on top of hers in comfort. Later, he can be seen asleep against Lena's shoulder as the doctor comes out to give them the good news that Stef will make a full recovery. At home, he can be seen looking at a picture of him as a baby beside a four year old Callie and their mother.
Jude is seen in the earlier part of the episode, getting ready for the wedding like everyone else. Stef and Lena all have a family meeting with everyone. They announce that they want to officially adopt Callie and Jude, leaving Jude ecstatic and overjoyed that he is finally going to get his family.
During the wedding, Jude is having a good time like everyone else when he leaves to take out the trash. However, though the lattice, he witnesses Callie and Brandonintensely and passionately making out. He tries not to make any noise, but stumbles in front of the door, startling Callie and Brandon to his presence. Silently angry, he stares at them in disbelief. He then angrily throws the bag of garbage down and storms away in a huff. Distraught, Callie flees after him as Brandon is found by Talya, who had been looking for him, and drags him back to the party.
During this, Callie catches up with Jude and tries to explain her actions. Jude, furious, says how they both like it there and they were going to actually be adopted. Callie insists the kiss with Brandon will never happen again, but he says it will; that's what she does. He tells her that she just doesn't know how to be happy. Callie tries to say something, on the verge of tears. But Jude reminds her that they're a package deal and when she screws something up - he pays the price too. He says how she acts as though she cares and loves him, but she doesn't and calls her selfish. He then storms away from a tearful Callie.
During the wedding, Jude is seen in attendance as Stef and Lena make their vows. He gives them the rings and jokes about losing them, smiling and laughing. He is again smiling and clapping as Lena and Stef are legally declared spouses. During the after wedding celebration, Callie goes to Jude and acknowledges that he was right about her being selfish and ruining everything for him. She says she is sorry and that she's going to stop being selfish. However, he continues to ignore her.
When the whole family begins dancing together, he is invited in by Stef and dances with his family happily. Later that night, after the wedding, Callie packs her things and runs away. Before she leaves, she takes one last look at her sleeping brother.
Jude is folding mats when Brandon joins him, casually saying how he didn't get the chance to talk to Callie the previous night and how things were pretty "weird" after what happened. He says he just wants to make sure things were okay between them. Jude, still folding mats, bluntly says Brandon doesn't - he just wants to make sure he isn't going to tell anyone about him kissing Callie.
Caught off guard, Brandon tries denying it. However, Jude sarcastically asks if he expects to be with his sister now and tells him that he can't. Otherwise, Jude and Callie won't get adopted. Brandon tries saying they'll figure something out as soon as Callie gets back from her guitar lesson. Jude snaps that he is no better than Liam, angering Brandon. Brandon states he isn't Liam, declaring that he loves Callie. Silent, Jude simply storms off.
Later at home, Jude is about to play a video game until he notices Callie's guitar nearby, alerting him. Recalling that Callie is supposed to be at a guitar lesson, and seeing that she clearly isn't there, Jude rushes into Callie and Mariana's bedroom. Ignoring an upset Mariana and Lexi because he barged in when they were working, he checks Callie's closet and her drawers. However, he finds them to be empty excluding her abandoned phone. The family piles in the room, wondering what is wrong with him. Jude tells them that Callie has run away.
Organizing a family meeting, Stef and Lena ask if no one truly knew anything about Callie's disappearance. They question what set her off, wondering if possibly getting adopted may have scared her off. Stef reluctantly realizes they will need to notify her probation officer despite knowing it will only worsen things for Callie. Lena asks Jude if he is okay, and Jude only asks if Callie will be sent to juvie again. Lena doesn't know, but promises that everything will be okay.
During breakfast, Mike is taking care of the kids while Lena and Stef search for Callie. Mike gives Jude a plate of eggs just as Mariana states how chickens are badly treated for their eggs. This effectively ruins Jude's appetite for eggs, and results in him asking for a bowl of cereal.
Later that night, Brandon visits Jude in his bedroom. Brandon sits down next to Jude and laments on how ever since Callie left, he has been hopelessly trying to figure out why she ran away. He at first thought that she was still into Wyatt and that's why she ran away with him, but then he realized that she didn't run away with Wyatt. Brandon concluded that Callie ran away from him. Jude begins to cry, and Brandon says that he completely screwed everything up and apologizes.
Jude then insists that she didn't run away because of Brandon, but because of him. Jude tells Brandon how he called her selfish and that she ruined everything for him - so she left. Brandon and Jude share a moment as he hugs Jude and begins comforting him, letting him cry on his chest, as he assures Jude that it isn't his fault.
During the Foster dinner, it is uncomfortably quiet given Callie's situation. Stef brings up how she is returning to police duty and everyone tries making conversation based on that, however, Jude flatly asks what is going to happen to Callie. Stef lightly tells him that the next day, she is to go before the judge where it will be decided whether she is to get more probation time or, as Jude finishes it himself, remain in juvie. Jude brings up how the last time she stayed in there, she got beat up.
Brandon requests that they go the court, but Stef reveals how Callie already asked for none of them to attend. He brings up how Lena and Stef have to go before the judge as well, which brings Jude to quietly ask if they still want her anymore. Lena and Stef say they do, but it is only a matter of whether Callie wants them or not. Brandon tries saying she does, but Lena and Stef remind him that Callie ran away seemingly without reason. However, Brandon then finally implies that he knows why Callie ran away, bringing Stef to demand if he knows something they don't. Giving a quick look at a nervous Jude, Brandon admits that he kissed her.
After the family blow out upon learning of Brandon and Callie's kiss, Jude approaches a stressed Lena and Stef - apologizing for not telling them sooner. Stef and Lena both tell him that this doesn't change how much they love and wish to adopt him. Jude asks about Callie, and they assure him the same goes for her as well. Later, Brandon approaches Jude in his room once again. He stumbles in his words, helplessly saying he never expected this to happen after kissing Callie. He is clearly sorry, but Jude responds by coldly closing the door on him.
That night, Jude comes to Mariana’s room to ask if he can have Callie’s pillow. She says she doubts Callie would mind and Jude moves to go grab it. As he does, Mariana instead asks Jude if he wants to sleep in Callie’s bed tonight. He does, making them both happy. The following day, Jude is in Mariana’s room when Stef tells Jude he can see Callie during her visiting hours for the group home she is in. Jude is excited about finally getting to see Callie before Mariana rants to him about her tight schedule.
During his promised day to see his sister, Jude is dressed in a suit and ready to visit Callie. However, Stef and Lena tell him that Callie lost her privileges and can’t visit with him today. He asks what she did, and they only tell him she got into a fight with another house mate. They offer to take him out for the day, just the three of them, but he says he has homework. It’s clear he’s disappointed, but Stef and Lena can’t help him.
In the morning, Jude is seen heading into the kitchen to get some breakfast as Mariana offers to make him something. However, he soon looks out the window and sees Lena and Stef talking to Callie's probation officer. Jude asks what is going on. Mariana admits who the guy is, but assures him that Callie is likely fine. Despite this, he is clearly worried.
At school, Jude is with Connor during lunch, who is excitedly telling him about a new action movie that is supposed to have awesome effects. He wants to go see it with Jude, who is hesitant about accepting. He admits to Connor how he isn't sure that he is going to be around when the film is released. As Connor is throwing out his food, Jude asks if he can have some of his uneaten food, which he gives to him.
After discovering his secret stash of food under his bed as a result of ants, Lena confronts him about hoarding food in his room. She asks why he won't just go to the pantry if he's hungry or if he's scared they're going to run out. He tells her how other foster homes don’t have a lot of food or put a limit on how much food they can have. Lena comes to the conclusion that Jude is afraid of being removed from the home.
Jude admits how that is how it goes for him - Callie does something wrong, a caseworker shows up and he get's moved to another foster home. Lena tells Jude that she knows how scared he must feel and that while she can’t promise there won’t be any surprises, he can’t go through life afraid of what might happen. She also promises that he’s safe in her home and they won’t surprise him with anything.
He is joining and making breakfast as Stef, Mariana and Jesus go on about their latest life dramas. When Jude is alone with Stef and Lena, who has come in by then, they sit him down. They wish to talk to him regarding moving forward wit his adoption. Jude asks if it also includes Callie's adoption. They admit they hope so, but that is up to Callie. Jude accepts this. Stef says he must consider his options; if Callie doesn't decide to get adopted, then he must consider getting adopted without her. He agrees to think it over.
While walking into his shared room with Jesus, he unintentionally walks in on Jesus taking half naked photos of himself to Lexi. He frantically apologizes, glancing away. Jesus yells that he can't come in and out as he pleases, but Jude remarks he came to drop off his bag. Jesus and Jude come to an understanding that whenever he sees a cap on the doorknob, he is taking a little "Jesus time". Jude giggles at this, remarking he can guess what "Jesus time" means. Jesus insists that is not what he meant by it, but to accept it. Jude says that isn't fair, but Jesus declares it his room. Jude is clearly upset by it before throwing his bag down and storming out.
During family day, Jude is with the family and clearly happy to see his sister. He responds by hugging her almost immediately when she opens the door. He listens with the family as Callie explains the busy schedule that Girls United has. He also has lunch that the girls made before taking his lunch outside where Callie follows him. She tries to make conversation with him, but he seems distant with her now. She finally apologizes for what she did, saying it's okay if he is angry. He then says how he knew she always pushed others away, he just never thought she would do it to him. Callie says how she was only trying to protect him so he could get adopted. He tells her that he is getting adopted - with or without her, explaining the paperwork is getting filled out already. Callie is happy for him, but is also hurt.
At home, Jude knocks on the door to his shared room with Jesus while the cap is on. Despite telling Jesus he needs to get his homework, his soon-to-be adopted brother tells him to get it later. Sighing, he slides down the floor and begins eating snacks. An hour later, Jude is sick of being kept out and barges in. When seeing he was kept out so Jesus could skype with Emma, not his girlfriend Lexi, Jude is furious. He begins yelling how he can't "write rules as he goes" and that it's his room as well. Jesus easily dismisses this statement, bringing Jude to angrily throw a book at him just as Stef and Lena come in. Deciding to defuse the situation, they bring Jude down to talk.
Downstairs, they explain he can't solve his problems with violence. Jude says he was locked out of his room, which they say isn't condoned and Jesus will hear about it. They still say that isn't an excuse. Taking a breath, he apologizes and leaves. After he does, Stef and Lena happily squeal to themselves over Jude adjusting to becoming a real member of the family by having his first "little brother" fight with Jesus and calling it "his" room now.
Jude walks in on Mariana crying about Frank's death, quickly apologizing. Mariana waves it off, and Jude awkwardly comes in to clean up. She admits to being nervous about her first funeral, which Jude assures "isn't as bad as she thinks". She asks what his mother's was like, which Jude details as "weird" and "sad". He recalls how everyone kept repeatedly telling them that their mother was in a better place. Jude then asks if she believed in heaven, which Mariana isn't sure. She asks if he does. He answers how he, in the least, believes people are up there looking after them - at least he hopes so.
At the church for the funeral, Jude can be seen in attendance alongside the family. Before heading in, Callie asks if he is okay. Jude says yes, and she takes his hand as they head inside. The scene then cuts to a flashback as Jude and Callie, in a similar fashion, entered just as so for their mother's funeral. Back the present, the family arrives back home and begin preparing for the afternoon family funeral and celebration of Frank's life. Jude asks Lena if he could have Connor over, calling her "mom". Lena agrees and Jude smiles, walking from a happily emotional Lena to being called "mom" by him.
Later, he is with Mariana and Connor, messing with an Ouija board. Jude says they need to ask a "test question" that no one knows the answer to. Mariana then asks if she is ever going to have a boyfriend. Jude shares a look with Connor and, when the answer is yes, remarks who is moving it. When the letter of her first boyfriend's name is "Z", Jude teases her about it being Zac. She then rushes out of the room, leaving Jude with Connor.
Sometime after this, Jude then tries to contact his mother with Connor's help. After being told with the board that his mother is there, he asks if it's okay if Lena and Stef adopt him. After a moment, the answer is yes. Jude smiles happily as Connor is shown to be happy for him as well.
Later, Jude walks into the kitchen as Callie is having a breakdown about losing their mother's necklace. When Callie goes to search outside, Jude hastily explains to the confused family that it was their mom's necklace before following after her. He tries to comfort her, before saying how she is beginning to hyperventilate in the same way she did when they learned their mom had died. Callie is confused by this, and Jude explains that Callie had destroyed her room when learning their mother died. However, she completely blacked it out of her memory and instead believed Jude wrecked her room. Stef then intervenes and decides to comfort Callie, leaving Jude to go inside.
Afterwards, Jude comes to see Callie again that night. He is happy to see she has found the necklace before she happily tells him that she's "coming home". It then switches to a flashback again of Callie and Jude ages ten and six. Social workers are preparing to send them to a foster family for a while before being told their dad caused their mother's death as a result of drunk driving. Callie asks if they're being split up, refusing to leave her brother. They're assured that they won't be separated and they'll be together as Jude and Callie holds hands. Back to the present, Jude and Callie again take hands, happy to finally become a part of the Foster family.
After Callie arrives home, everyone is excited to see her. However, Jude is distant with her. Callie wishes to catch up, but Jude excuses himself under the claim of a book report. Lena and Stef bring up how he can do it after dinner, but Callie waves it off. She says they can catch up later, but Jude only walks off. Later, Callie walks in as he and Mariana are working on his project together. He says she's been helping him out lately before leaving to go to bed. Mariana tries insisting he is having difficulty re-adjusting, but Callie again dismisses it.
The following morning, he joins the family for breakfast. Mariana hands him his finished report, calling it perfect. He thanks her as he takes it. When he goes into his backpack, he finds a wooden figure with the word "And" taped onto it. Confused, he looks around the oblivious family table before shrugging it off. At school, going into his locker, he finds a chocolate bar with the word "All" taped on it in the similar fashion. During lunch with Connor, a girl comes up and delivers cupcakes with frosted on words "Was" and "In" on them. When asked by Connor what that was about, Jude admits to Connor that his birthday is the next day. Connor asks how the "cupcake delivery girl knows before [him]" and Jude remarks how he doubts that is the girl's actual job.
Jude tells him how he was an at-home birth and when his birth certificate was filled out, his birthday was put down incorrectly. When he and his sister went into the foster system, it remained a little secret between him and his sister. He voices his theory that she is trying to send him a message through his various goodies. Connor takes a picture of the delivered treats before they eat them. At the Foster's home, Connor and Jude track down the remaining clues in the Foster family kitchen and try to decode Callie's message.
Later, he walks in on Mariana trying to convince Lena to let her and Callie attend a party. Catching each other's eye, Callie walks up to him. He flatly tells her he found eleven clues and if there are more. She claims to not know what he is talking about, which Jude asks again if there at least thirteen. Callie replies with a vague "Maybe" and if he's figured out what it says. Jude denies this, eagerly asking that the message is. Callie continues to play dumb, frustrating Jude.
The following morning, Callie excitedly jumps into Jude's bed, waking him up. She announces to him how it's his birthday and gives him his final clue to the puzzle. He opens it to see the book of Hansel and Gretel. He opens it to see the taped word "Together" on the inside. She recalls how their mother used to always read the book to them as kids. Jude concludes she's been leaving him "birthday bread crumbs" the whole time. Turning to the last page, he sees what the code was through the clues - "Then all anxiety was at an end and they lived in perfect happiness". Jude then points out how he never got the word "Happiness". Callie eagerly says it is downstairs, takes his hand and leads him downstairs.
Once in the living room, he sees the Foster family with decorations in celebration of his birthday. Taking a balloon, he sees the final word "Happiness" marked on it. Jude asks Callie if she really told them his "secret birthday". She says with a smile about how they don't need secrets anymore - they have a family. Stef then brings out the birthday cake of pancakes as Jude smiles.
The kids are running late to school - Mariana, Jesus and Callie casting blame on one another - and Lena warning that anyone not in the car by 7:30 will be forced to walk to school. Jude, however, says he is always on time. This bring Lena to call him her "favorite", annoying Jesus and Mariana.
Later, he is seen helping out Callie while she is setting up the photo shoot for the foster kids; to help them out as well as towards her community service and credit. He is seen goofing around with Kiara while taking photos together. Jude also helps Callie make a girl laugh when she isn't able to smile for the camera. After this, when Callie thanks him for being her "assistant", he begins taking photos with her camera instead, laughing.
Following this, that night, Jude is with Callie as they go through the photos on her laptop. They both agree to preferring the pictures of the kids when they don't look at the camera. As they begin to goof around, Callie notices Brandon's car in the background of a photo through the window. She realizes he was at the school the night some of the expensive supplies and kindles were stolen - making him a suspect.
Jude is with the family when they surprise Jesus with Lexi's surprise visit, joining in yelling "Surprise!" as well. When Stef and Lena warn that Lexi is staying in Mariana's room and they promised her parents no "funny business" would be going on, clearly trying to censor the activity, Jude remarks that he knows what the term means. This brings Callie to nudge him as Stef jokingly warns him to "watch it". He also looks at the photos of Honduras that Lexi took on her phone.
At school, Callie and Jude are called into Lena's office. They sit them down and tell them the meeting is regarding their adoption. They tell them how the adoption process has started, but in order to petition to court, they require permission from their birth father for his rights to be signed away. Callie is upset to learn he still legally has any, since he has not contacted them in years. Jude asks if he can deny their adoption by them; something Callie doesn't believe he'll do. Stef tells them if he does, they can fight it, but hopefully it won't come down to a custody battle.
Lena intervenes in the conversation, wanting to if it is fine by them if they ask him to be their new legal parents. They say yes, although Jude asks if their dad will be asked while in prison. Callie reveals to him their father is no longer in prison. She confesses how while on the run, she contacted the prison he was in where they told her he was released over a year ago. Jude asks why she never told him. Callie says their father clearly doesn't care about them, leading Jude to snap how she was "trying to protect him again", upset. He asks Lena and Stef if he can go eat lunch, which they allow. Callie tries to go after him, but Lena says he just needs time to process such big news.
That night, Jude is looking at his dad's pocket knife. Callie comes in, and he asks why it says "T.J" since their dad's name is "Donald". She explains it is their grandfather's name which stands for "Thomas Jacob". He asks if he ever met him, which she says he did. However, he died pretty young. She then admits she should have told him their dad was out of prison, but thought the more he knew then the more it would hurt him. He tells her, though, that "not knowing sucks". She then softly says they're just better off without him, which he agrees on.
Stef and Lena then come in, asking if everything is good, which they say yes on. They then tell them how their lawyer tracked down Donald, who is in North Park not far from where they live. The lawyer has talked about the adoption with him, and he has agreed to sign away his rights. However, the lawyer would like to know if they would like to see him in person first. Callie immediately says they don't, however, Jude says he does. This surprises all three of them. Callie begins to say something, but Jude cuts her off. He says while she doesn't wish to see their father, he does.
Callie asks Jude if he is sure he wants to see their dad. He nods, and she asks what he expects him to say when asked with questions. Jude admits how all he really wants is a chance to properly say goodbye. Callie asks if he surprises him with a declaration that he wants them back. Jude says he isn't sure, but he is still their dad.
The following night, Jude asks Jesus if he ever wishes he had a had a dad. Jesus says everyone has a dad, some just don't get to know theirs. Jude admits how he really misses his mom, but never really had memories of his dad. Jesus brings up how Donald is going to let them adopt him, which is good news. Jude tells him how he is supposed to meet him soon, and Jesus asks why. Jude admits how he was asked if he wished to, and he said yes. Serious, Jesus sits next to him and warns him to be careful. Bringing up what happened with him and Ana, he wouldn't want to see him go through that.
At the breakfast table the next day, Jude says that he doesn't want to see his father after all. Lena says it is okay to be nervous, but Jude says he just isn't sure he wants to after all. However, Callie says she thinks they both should. The family agrees, saying they may regret not meeting with him later in life. Jude agrees as long as they are both together.
When Jesus finds Timothy's sperm donation, Lena and Stef have a family meeting and discuss their plans to conceive a baby. They are all on board with the idea and happy for Stef and Lena. Brandon asks when Jude is going to meet his father, and he says tomorrow. Brandon hopes it goes well for him. On the expected day for the meeting, Jude and Callie are nervous as they wait with Lena and Stef. He fiddles with his dad's pocket knife. Donald soon arrives, and he comments on how big Jude has gotten. After being given privacy, Donald notices the pocket knife, but fails to recognize it initially. Jude offers he can take it back, since it was grandpa's, but Donald says it is his to keep.
Donald then tells him that he signed the papers, terminating his rights to ensure their adoption. He says how proud he is to still be their dad and nothing will ever change that, saying he loves them more than they'll ever know. Donald goes on to admit their mother truly did all the raising with them, and that Stef and Lena seem to be good people. Looking around the house, he says the life they have there is more than he can ever give them - accepting it is best for them. Crying, Jude asks to give him a hug. Accepting it, he and his dad hug as Donald says how sorry he is for what he did to them. Deciding to leave, Jude bids his goodbye as Donald tells him to be good.
Jude and Connor are at the house playing video games. Mariana then comes into the room and offers Jude the phone, saying someone wants to talk to him. After the phone call, Jude explains to Connor that their classmate Maddie asked him to the movies. Connor asks if he likes her, to which Jude says he doesn't in "that" way. Upon hearing this, Connor asks if he is sure. When Jude says yes, he asks him if it was alright if he asked her out then. Jude looks down before saying yes, although his facial expressions say otherwise. Connor looks at him before going back to playing video games as Jude looks downward confused.
At school, Maddie runs up to Jude before class and asks if it’s okay if he can go to the movies with her. Jude says it is. Connor, witnessing the scene, confronts him about telling him that he was okay with him wanting to ask her out and lying to him. Jude says he just changed his mind, but Connor says that he thinks the only reason he is suddenly interested in Maddie is because he told him that he was. Jude says how that isn't true before saying it doesn't matter either way because she doesn't like Connor, she likes him. Connor angrily blows it off before saying he won't go to his adoption because that is only something good friends go to and they clearly aren't that.
At home, Lena sits down with Jude where he abruptly asks Lena how she knew she was gay. Being completely thrown off by the question, she asks what brought on the question. Jude explains his current situation with Maddie and Connor. He says how instead of feeling jealous over Maddie, he was more jealous because Connor wants to ask her out in general. Lena responds with by saying that jealously is an ugly thing. She further explains that just because he feels jealous in this one situation, doesn't mean he is gay, but it doesn't mean he isn't either. She then assures him that whether he is gay or not, she and Stef would love and accept him no matter what. Feeling assured, Jude smiles.
At the adoption, Connor surprises Jude as well by showing up after all. Jude says how he wasn't sure if he would come after their argument. He then says how he is sorry and that if Connor likes Maddie then he should have his fair chance with her. However, Connor waves the whole thing off and says how maybe all three of them can go to the movies sometime. Despite this, Jude gives an uncomfortable smile and looks down, bothered.
It is then that Stef and Lena pull Callie and Jude aside. They explain to her that there seems to be a mix-up with her original birth certificate - a different person is listed as her birth father, not Donald Jacob. Unfortunately, at this time, this means that she can’t get adopted. Tears are shed between both Jude and Callie when realizing she can't get adopted along with him. Stef and Lena reassure Callie that just because this little hiccup occurred does not change their mind; she will be adopted by them one day.
Jude cries as he refuses to get adopted without Callie. However, Callie takes him by the shoulder and calms him down and says that today is his day and he will get adopted and become an official member of the Foster family. Jude eventually agrees with his big sister. Jude, Stef and Lena sign the papers as Jude becomes a legal member of the Adams-Foster family. Afterwards, the family as well as Callie takes a picture with the judge. That night the entire family and friends celebrate Jude's adoption.

Main article: Jonnor
Connor and Jude are classmates and best friends. The two met in math class and occasionally talk while in class. For most of the series, Connor is Jude's only real friend in school.
The two officially form their bond as close friends when Connor defends him when Jude finds himself bullied for wearing blue nail polish. In defense of Jude, Connor shows up proudly wearing nail polish as well. Ever since then, the two maintain a steady and strong friendship. However, in season 2, Connor's homophobic dad proves to be against their friendship due speculating that Jude may be gay. Although wanting to be friends, Connor is unable to stand up to his emotionally abusive dad. Despite pressure from his father, the two manage to continue their friendship.
In season 2b, Connor and Jude's relationship grows from friendship to romance when it is told that they did something "wrong" while in their tent on a school camping trip - which is later revealed to have been a kiss. Their relationship faces a stump when Connor gets a girlfriend in order to please his father. Despite this, he begins to flirt with Jude before Jude finally demands to know where their relationship stands, resulting in Connor kissing him again. Following Connor finally coming out to his dad and being banned from seeing Jude because he came out, Connor and Jude are finally reunited. It is later said that Jude and Connor are officially dating.
In season 3a, Jude has trouble coming out to everyone and refuses to label himself as gay despite being in a relationship with Connor, much to the latter's confusion and slight discomfort. However, in More Than Words, after a talk with Cole, Jude sees how labels can be a good thing and finally comes to accept and admit he is gay.
In Lucky, while at Connor's house, Adam doesn't take to walking in on Jude and Connor making out too well. As a result, Connor considers moving to Los Angeles to live with his mother. After Callie's speech to the judge during her adoption about the importance of being with a family who truly loves and makes her feel safe, Jude tells Connor to go live with his mother if it will make him happy - promising they can maintain a long-distance relationship. Jude then admits he loves Connor, and Connor returns the sentiment. The two then hug.
In First Impressions, Jude has a conversation with Connor while in Connor's room, telling Connor that nothing will be the same without him.
In Sixteen, Jesus intercepts a text message on Jude's phone, and notices that Connor has sexted Jude. Jude decides against going to Connor's homecoming, as he is unsure of the picture's meaning. Later, Jude and Connor talk online, and Connor tells Jude that they won their game, but that he wished Jude was there to share it with him. Jude says that he didn't go because he didn't understand what the picture meant, after originally denying that his (Connor's) sending the picture prevented him from going. Jude then says that they were the only guys in their grade who were gay, and vocalizes that he believes this is the reason for them getting together. Connor quickly says that they were friends first, and Jude tells him that he doesn't feel like Connor is his friend anymore, because of his signing up for football and other things, which prevent him from coming to see him on weekends due to games. Connor then sadly asks Jude if he wants to break up, but Jude doesn't answer.

Trivia
- The character made history as the youngest person to be featured in a LGBT kiss on television.
- Jude is a person who is never rude or talks bad about anyone, according to his best friend Connor.
- In Things Unknown, Jude's post-adoption birth certificate declared his new surname as "Adams Foster" and relegated his birth surname, "Jacob," to his middle name.
- In Things Unknown, Jude's birth certificate reveals he was born at St. Abigail's Hospital located at 16752 N Kling St., San Diego, CA, 92109. This contradicts with Jude's revealed detail about being an at-home birth in Us Against The World.
- It has been revealed by Hayden Byerly that Jude was originally going to be a transgender character and ponder whether he felt like he was a man or a woman inside a male's body (this is hinted at in the Pilot when Callie mentions Jude being beaten by their foster father when caught wearing a dress owned by the man's ex-wife). He was going to be a male-to-female transgender. However, the writers dropped this idea, instead deciding to explore the story line elsewhere in the show, and opting to have Jude be a young boy exploring his own unique sexuality.
- Lena's nickname for him is "Bubba".
- Mariana's nickname for him is "Judicorn".

- Starting in seasons 2b, Jude begins to stand up for himself more as he becomes a more independent character, no longer letting people walk over him like he has in earlier episodes.

- In It's My Party, it is shown that Jude likes ketchup on his tacos, a trait that actor Hayden Byerly also shares.
