Giggly and Cuddly 4-Year-Old Yandel Needs a Family With Big Hearts [TUESDAY’S CHILD]
Yandel is a giggly and cuddly little boy. He is interactive and loves being held and talked to by his caretakers. He is legally blind and as a result very keyed into sounds.
Yandel is making progress every day and brings joy to those around him.
He is ready to be the pride and joy of a family of any makeup. It is important that Yandel finds a situation wherein one parent is able to stay home with him full-time to completely participate in his growth, development and medical care. A family for Yandel must support his relationship with his mother who has an open adoption agreement for two visits a year.
Who Can Adopt
If you’re at least 18, have a stable source of income and have 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 will be a good fit.
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.
