Sunday’s Child Rhamell
Rhamell is an affectionate, bright and active four-year-old boy of African-American descent. Rhamell likes to stay busy and loves playing games, both indoors and outdoors. He can often be found running around outside or at the playground. Rhamell also enjoys music and sports, and loves anything related to superheroes.
Rhamell is an intelligent boy with a vast vocabulary for a child his age. Before moving to his current program, he was attending a center-based day care where he had many friends. Rhamell is a loving boy but because of past trauma he has been displaying acting-out behaviors. His social worker believes that these behaviors will subside once he finds stability with his forever family and understands that he is safe. Rhamell does best with structure and routine.
Legally freed for adoption, Rhamell has the potential to thrive in a loving two-parent home. His social worker is open to exploring families with no children or with children older than Rhamell, and with no pets in the home. An ideal family will be able to provide Rhamell with stability, emotional support and structure. They should also be comfortable utilizing community supports and advocating for Rhamell’s needs.
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.mareinc.org. The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have “a permanent place to call HOME.”
