Christian, 5, likes to swim
Christian is an energetic 5-year-old boy of Caucasian descent. He likes to play outside and enjoys driving his tractor as well as jumping on the trampoline. During the summer, he likes to swim. Others who know Christian would say that he can be helpful, especially in his foster home. He started kindergarten this school year and has several friends he likes to play with.
Ready for adoption, Christian would benefit from being placed in a two-parent household with older children or no other children. He would do well with parents who are active and enjoy the outdoors. He responds best in a patient, calm environment with clear expectations and structure. Interested families should be open to two visits per year with his birth parents and contact with his adult sister.
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 siblings who will be a good match for your family.
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.”
