Children’s charity searches for an adoptive family for Marcus aged 4
Children’s charity and leading voluntary adoption agency, Adoption Matters, is looking for an individual, couple or family to provide Marcus with a stable and loving home through adoption. Could that be you?
Marcus foster parents say that the best thing about him is when he laughs and giggles. Marcus is a little boy who wants to learn and thrives from adult interaction and support. His foster parents explain that he has a ‘thirst for knowledge and will soak it up as he has an inquisitive mind”.
Marcus is energetic, he enjoys being on the go and loves being outside, on his balance bike or other ride on toys, in his paddling pool, going for long walks and loves going on the bus!
Adoption Matters Child Focused Family Building Service works in partnership with Local Authorities and Regional Adoption Agencies across the UK to help identify families for children who wait longer.
Currently in England, there are 2580 children waiting for adoption, over 50% have been waiting over 12 months and many over 18 months. These children tend to be slightly older, age 4 and above, brother and sister groups, children from diverse heritage backgrounds and children with additional needs. Adoption Matters has extensive experience and are passionate about finding families for children like Marcus. The team advises:
“Marcus needs a home where he can grow up and have lots of fun! He would benefit from a family who are:
· Fun and love to laugh
· Who love the outdoors
· Patient, Kind and consistent
· Loving, warm and affectionate
And who:
· Embrace and accept Marcus for the amazing boy he is and celebrate his achievements
Marcus has had a difficult start his life but since moving to his foster family, he has benefitted from having a consistent routine and lots of play and encouragement”.
