Izaq likes cooking and Legos
Izaq is a sweet, caring and inquisitive boy of Hispanic descent. Those who meet him immediately notice how funny, warm and engaging he is. Izaq is eager to please, and enjoys talking and playing games with adults. He also loves cooking, cars, Legos, Pokemon and playing on his computer.
When asked what he wants to be when he grows up, he talks about wanting to help others. He dreams of becoming an ambulance driver. Izaq responds well to praise and positive attention and talks often about his desire to find a family who will love him.
At school, Izaq receives extra support to help him catch up to his peers. His teachers describe him as eager to learn. In class, he loves to be in a teaching position with his peers and is eager to share his knowledge. He volunteers often to read out loud and go to the board.
Ready for adoption, Izaq is looking forward to finding a caring, permanent family who will love him unconditionally. An ideal family will provide Izaq with structure and consistency. His social worker is open to exploring a family of any constellation, including single-parent homes, as long as they have a strong support system in place. Izaq will do best in a family with at least one male parent and where he can be the only or significantly youngest child in the home. A family should be open to helping Izaq make a slow transition from his current placement to a family setting.
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 child. Adoptive parents can be single, married or partnered; experienced or not; renters or homeowners; LGBTQ singles and couples.
Adopting 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 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.
