Brother & sister play well together

Dimas and Yasmine are siblings of Hispanic descent who are looking for a home together. Dimas, 8, is an affectionate boy who likes to swim, be outside and play with action figures and cars. He is eager to please and enjoys adult attention. Dimas gets along well with his sister and other children. He receives extra supports in school. Dimas has some hearing loss.

Yasmine is a sweet 6-year-old girl who loves her brother. She enjoys arts & crafts, swimming, playing with dolls and riding her bike. Yasmine wears hearing aids to help with hearing loss but does not use sign-language. Because of the hearing loss, Yasmine does have some speech delays, which she receives extra support for in school.

Legally freed for adoption, Dimas and Yasmine will bring joy to a patient family that is understanding of their limitations. They will do well as the only children at home or with older or younger siblings. An ideal family for them will be loving and able to make a permanent commitment to them.

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 617964-6273 or go to mareinc.org. The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have “a permanent place to call home.”
