Tommy, 2, is a very active and curious toddler. His beautiful smile is a magnet that draws in meaningful connections. He loves engaging with others and is described as a “ray of sunshine.” Tommy has a tracheal tube, but it does not prevent him from walking, running and playing with the aid of his yellow backpack, which supports his G-tube feedings. He has a fraternal twin sister who he looks forward to spending time with.
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.
