Meet Five Little Boys

Across the south, five young boys today are living in different caring and compassionate foster care homes, going to school, playing, laughing, and growing. But behind their everyday routines, they are still waiting for a family life to call their own, forever.

Mason, Albie, Finley-Jack as well as Logan and George* are happy little boys aged 3-5 years old, who do everything any other child would do. They enjoy playing with toys, activities in school, being curious or just snuggling up for story time.

Rachel Reynolds, Head of Adopt South says:

"We know so much about these five adorable little boys. Their little personalities are developing; they can express themselves, tell you how they feel or what they are interested in."

And because they go to nursery or school and are involved with other activities, there is space in the day for a parent to reflect, plan, and think about what’s next. There are cherished moments that matter, like coming home from school, sharing stories, doing something for the first time together.

We know that some children may carry a diagnosis or assessment, but that doesn’t define these boys. That’s why we are asking residents in our communities to look beyond those labels and see the child, who simply needs someone to believe in them, so they can have the best life and be accepted for their story and who they are. Our aim of this campaign is to reduce the time these boys are in foster care and give them their own forever families. I’m hoping that if just a few people come forward for an initial chat with us, it could mean that, despite the enormous efforts foster carers make for our children, each boy can be part of a family that can love him for who he is."

If you are curious about adoption or want to learn more about these boys:

There is no obligation, just an opportunity to discover whether adoption could be part of your story, and whether you could give a much-needed forever home to one of these boys.
