Monday's Child: Hayleigh, 15, is a polite, kind-hearted girl with a calm temperament
Hayleigh, 15, is a polite, kind-hearted girl with a calm temperament and a wonderful sense of humor. She loves to laugh and be silly. Always eager to help, she brightens others' days whenever she can. A naturally active child, Hayleigh thrives when she can burn off energy. In summer she runs and plays in her backyard or swims and in winter she bounces at the trampoline park and explores her creativity in art classes. She adores singing and dreams of dance lessons, often twirling around the house to entertain anyone watching. With her love of performance, whether on stage, at summer camp or in impromptu living-room shows, Hayleigh's warmth, enthusiasm and generous spirit make her a joy to be around.
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. As an adoptive parent, you won't have to pay any fees; adoption from foster care is completely free in Massachusetts.
The process to adopt a child from foster care includes training, interviews and home visits to determine if adoption is right for you. These steps will help match you with a child or sibling group that your family will fit well with.
