He would like to learn to swim so that he is prepared for his future career. Matty also loves to play video games. Matthew Age: 13 Matty recently started middle school and is doing well. He started an author’s club at his school and looks forward to editing stories for other students. Matty is an excellent reader and is reading well above grade-level. He also has a great imagination and loves to hear stories. Matty is on the high functioning end of the Autism Spectrum. Ready for adoption, Matty is longing to be adopted by a family who will keep him forever and give him hugs. According to Matty, he has a lot of dreams that he hopes his new family will listen to. Matty’s social worker is open to exploring a family of any constellation, with either no children in the home or with children older than Matty. 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 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 617-54-ADOPT (617-542-3678) or visit www.ma- reinc.org. The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have “a permanent place to call HOME.”
