Zuleika wants to be a singer

Zuleika is an active, intelligent and inquisitive 13-year-old girl of Hispanic descent. Her favorite activities include playing with dolls, doing arts and crafts, singing and dancing. She also enjoys imaginary play. In her current foster home, Zuleika is known to be friendly, mature and a good helper. She also loves to play with the family dog. Zuleika hopes to be a singer when she grows up.

Zuleika enjoys school — while she sometimes needs prompting from adults to do her homework, she does well academically once she puts her mind to it.

Zuleika will do best in a family consisting of a male and female parent, two female parents or a single female parent. Her social worker is open to families with no other children or with children who are older than Zuleika. Zuleika is legally freed for adoption.

Who can adopt?

Can you provide the guidance, love and stability 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.

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.”
