Dasanee, 10, loves outdoors
Dasanee is an athletic 10-year-old girl of African-American descent. She can be quiet when you meet her, but once she feels comfortable, she warms up and is friendly. Dasanee has good manners and likes to be helpful. Some of her favorite activities include listening to music, singing, dancing, swimming and going to the local arcade. She also loves to spend time outside. Dasanee is currently a fourth-grade student and is involved in chorus and intramural sports. She also plays the trumpet.
Dasanee is legally free for adoption and ready to find her forever family. She would benefit from living in a two-parent household where the parents provide structure and clear expectations. Dasanee hopes her future family will have pets and other children in the home. An active family would be ideal as Dasanee enjoys getting out of the house frequently. Any interested family should be open to maintaining Dasanee’s connections with her brother, aunt and cousin, whom she visits regularly.
Who can adopt?
Can you provide the guidance, love and stability that a child needs? If you’re at least 18 years old, have a stable source of income and room in your heart, you may be a perfect match to adopt a waiting child. Adoptive parents can be single, married or partnered; experienced or not; renters or homeowners; LGBTQ singles and couples.
The process to adopt a child from foster care requires training, interviews and home visits to determine if adoption is right for you, and if so, to help connect you with a child or sibling group that your family will be a good match for.
To learn more about adoption from foster care, call the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange at 617-964-6273 or go to mareinc.org. The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have “a permanent place to call home.”
