Laren is fun-loving and friendly
Sunday’s Child is a weekly column featuring a child currently in foster care awaiting adoption.
Laren is a friendly, fun-loving, and energetic 7-year-old girl. She enjoys drawing, playing outside, and dancing. Laren also enjoys being involved in active adventures.
Laren is in a small first-grade classroom setting in a public school, where she receives the supports she needs to succeed. Laren does well with positive interactions with staff at her program.
Legally freed for adoption, Laren will do well in a family of any constellation. It will be best if Laren is the youngest child in the home. A family for Laren will need to be able to support her relationship with her grandmother and sisters.
Can I adopt?
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.
As an adoptive parent, you won’t have to pay any fees, adoption from foster care is completely free in Massachusetts.
The process to adopt a child from foster care includes training, interviews, and home visits to determine if adoption is right for you. These steps will help match you with a child or sibling group that your family will fit well with.
To learn more about adoption from foster care, call the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) at 617-964-6273 or visit www.mareinc.org. Start the process today and give a waiting child a permanent place to call home.
