Douglas has an Open Adoption Agreement with his birth parents consisting of quarterly visits until his adoption finalizes, and then two visits per year. Douglas also has two sisters whom he is very close to. An ideal family should be willing to maintain Douglas’ connection to his siblings. 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, inter- views, and home visits to determine if adoption is right for you, and if so, to help connect you with a child or sibling group that your family will be a good match for. To learn more about adoption from foster care, call the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) at 617-6273 or visit www.mareinc.org. The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have “a permanent place to call HOME.” This space is provided by:

year.” After a highly competitive first quarter in which David Prouty led at one point, 9-4, and trailed by just six, 21-15, Tantasqua put the game away by holding the Panthers to six points in the second quarter, which ended with a 13-2 Warriors’ run and a 42-21 Tantasqua lead. “We had a good first quarter. The kids played hard, we tried to execute, but we’re obvious- ly undersized, which certain- ly caught up with us through the course of the game,” David Pouty head coach Scott Dion said. “We had a hard time scoring, which is troublesome, especially against an explosive team like Tantasqua. You got to put points on the board, and rebound, two things we strug- gle with and they’re exception- ally good at.” O’Neil said he shifted his team’s point of emphasis from offense at the beginning of the game to defense as the second quarter started. “We wanted to come out from the beginning in attack mode, but we kind of played down for a little bit. Our starting point guard [Chase Freeland] is hurt, so that changes our offense,” O’Neil said. “He’s kind of our engine, so we’re still trying to figure out how to start games without him. So, we started out a little slow.” Mathew S.

We focused on playing defense and run- ning,” said O’Neil. “When we can run we’re tough to guard because we have so many athletes and so many different kinds of scorers.” Also scoring for the Warriors were Drew Peretti (nine points), Garrett Cassavant (eight points), Jackson Hall (seven points), Bradley Gregoire (six points), Jeremiah Dingui (five points), Armando Chung (four points), Troy Lee (four points), Ethan Brunelle (three points), Hayden Peterson (three points), Ryan Bonja (three points) and Kyle Rizy (two points). O’Neil emptied his bench early in the game, feeling the need to get his reserves playing time. “I wanted to get a lot of guys in. I told my senior captains when they were sophomores that team got them a lot of playing time,” O’Neil said. “This is the time when you have to get your teammates, who don’t play a lot, time on the court. We’ve got to come out in a game like this and take care of business early and get the game under control.
