Siblings seek home together

-

Lorraine and Paul are African-American siblings who hope to be adopted together by a warm and welcoming family.

Lorraine is a 10-year-old girl who does well in school.

She has made several close friends in class and easily communicat­es with her peers.

One of her favorite activities is reading.

She especially loves “Harry Potter.” When Lorraine grows up, she wants to be an exotic veterinari­an so she can care for a large array of animals in need.

Paul is a sweet, engaging 8-yearold boy. He is talkative and loves to learn new informatio­n. He enjoys building with Legos and creating large structures. He also enjoys playing video games at home.

Legally freed for adoption, these siblings don’t have a preference for a particular family constellat­ion. Both would benefit from a family that could supply a consistent, structured environmen­t. Stability and routine would be key in continuing their positive developmen­t.

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 siblings who will be a good match for your family.

To learn more about adoption from foster care, call the Massachuse­tts Adoption Resource Exchange at 617-542-3678 or go to mareinc.org.

The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have “a permanent place to call home.”
