Imaginative Max loves building and gaming

By MARE Staff

Max (Maxum) is an energetic and imaginative child whose warm personality shines through once he feels at ease. At first glance he may come across as shy and quiet, but give him a bit of time and space, and he quickly opens up — sharing his thoughts, cracking jokes, and joining in the fun. His caring nature and easygoing smile make him a wonderful friend and teammate.

An avid builder and gamer, Max loves constructing intricate creations with LEGOs and diving into videogame worlds where his creativity can roam free. He’s equally passionate about the great outdoors: you’ll often find him running, climbing, or tossing a ball with friends. His strong arm and natural competitiveness make him a standout on the field — whether he’s throwing passes in football, pitching on the baseball diamond, or launching rockets in backyard games.

Can I Adopt?

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. To learn more about adoption from foster care visit www.mareinc.org.
