Waiting Child Profiles
Explore the profiles of children and teens in Massachusetts who are waiting for permanency.
We invite you to get to know some of the dynamic children and teens who are waiting for adoption in Massachusetts! All of the children profiled below are in the custody of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families and need a permanent adoptive home. Siblings profiled together are in need of a family who can provide them a home together. Please consider these profiles merely an introduction to the child. We respect the privacy of children and do not list most medical or mental health issues, nor are we able to capture the full strengths and personality of the child.
If you are a currently licensed family and have submitted your caregiver assessment to be verified by MARE, you can learn more about a specific child or sibling group by placing an inquiry. We request that you inquire about no more than 3 children or sibling groups at a time.
To learn more about our approval and inquiry process, visit our Child Gallery Overview. This page has instructions for how to verify your license with MARE.
