-

Quinton, 5, loves water. Quinton is a friendly and easygoing boy who is described as very observant, often paying close attention to what others around him are doing. Quinton also enjoys playing, especially with water and musical toys.

He loves to watch cartoons and his current favorite is “Caillou.”

Quinton is always happy to cuddle and be held.

Quinton receives supportive services in school to help with his speech/ language, motor skills and overall developmen­t. He is steadily becoming more mobile and vocal with these supports in place and will now imitate sounds that he hears. Quinton benefits from individual­ized support, small group settings and predictabl­e routines. He enjoys school and does well in the classroom.

Quinton will thrive in a loving and affectiona­te family who can advocate for him while providing consistent structure, routine and supervisio­n. He could do well in a family of any constellat­ion, with or without other children. Quinton has an older brother and it will be vital that the siblings stay closely connected.

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 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 go to mareinc.org.
