Sanaa and Mikeiya are sisters of Cape Verdean descent who are seeking a new family together.
Sanaa is a nine-year- old girl who describes herself as nice, friendly and thankful. She enjoys playing tag, hide and seek, basketball and baseball. She also likes to watch SpongeBob Square Pants, The Cat in the Hat and the movie Boss Baby. Sanaa is in the third-grade and does well academically. She makes friends easily and is well liked by other children. Sanaa likes to be the center of attention, and her biggest wish is to find a family who will be “nice and loving” to her.
Mikeiya is a loving and talkative three-year- old girl who enjoys outside activities, including playing soccer and tag. She is very fashionable, and enjoys picking out her shoes and clothes. Mikeiya greets everyone with a hug and is described as a “little helper” around the house. She currently attends daycare where, she enjoys coloring and playing with various toys.
Legally freed for adoption, Sanaa and Mikeiya will do best in a two-parent family of any constellation. Any other children in the home should be older than Mikeiya. An ideal home for the sisters would be able to provide them with structure, positive re-enforcement and redirection when necessary. It is very important to the sisters that they are able to maintain contact with their eight siblings who are also looking to be adopted.
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.”
