Monday's Child: Lily, 15, is a creative, energetic and caring girl
Lily, 15, is a creative, energetic and caring girl with a vibrant personality and a natural flair for leadership. She loves singing, learning TikTok dances and practicing gymnastics — always finding fun ways to stay active and expressive. Music is a big part of her life and she enjoys journaling as a way to reflect and unwind. Lily has a sharp sense of humor and loves engaging in playful banter with those around her. She's a confident self-advocate and often steps up to support others as well. With her strong voice and take-charge attitude, it's no surprise that Lily dreams of becoming a teacher one day.
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.
