Introducing Marcus

We are looking for an individual, couple or family to provide Marcus a stable and loving home through adoption. Could that be you?

He would benefit from a family who are:

  • Who love the outdoors
  • Patient, Kind and consistent
  • Loving, warm and affectionate

And who:

  • Embrace and accept Marcus for the amazing boy he is and celebrate his achievements

All about Marcus

Marcus is the only child in his current foster home. However, his foster parents have grandchildren who are older than Marcus and are regular visitors and he enjoys playing with the children and interacts well so therefore, he could live with older children.

Marcus is energetic, he enjoys being on the go and loves being outside, on his balance bike or other ride on toys, in his paddling pool, going for long walks and loves going on the bus!

  • Marcus is in a really good routine with his foster parents, which helps him to feel safe and secure.
  • He eats and sleeps really well and his favourite meal is Bacon, sausages and eggs.
  • He has no pets in the foster home but loves seeing animals and is excited when he has been around family dogs.

Marcus loves being involved and helping his foster parents with things around the house, like gardening and cutting carrots for tea – always trying a few bites!

Marcus absolutely loves playing in water and would stay in the pool all day if he could. Marcus recently enjoyed a cruise holiday and he just adored his time in the pool!  He enjoys building with his duplo bricks and makes some impressive towers! He is learning all the time through play, learning his numbers and colours.

Marcus also loves to watch the TV when he is at home.

Marcus is a little boy who wants to learn and thrives from adult interaction and support. His foster parents explain that he has a ‘thirst for knowledge and will soak it up as he has an inquisitive mind’  His foster parents feel that Marcus understands more than he can currently say and is learning every day.

His foster parents say that the best thing about Marcus is when he laughs and giggles… ! He is a contented child and loves rough and tumble play.

Marcus has a close relationship with his foster parents and he will need his adoptive family to give him time, patience and reassurance to build his trust in them.  When he gets to know you, Marcus is an affectionate boy who loves cuddles.

Marcus is an independent little boy who is motivated to learn how to do things himself such as put his shoes on.

He started school in September and enjoys attending. Marcus does need extra support with his speech but can make himself understood with actions and gestures when he can’t find the words.  He is a very active little boy who can quickly move between activities.  His foster parents have found that he is starting to be able to focus for longer periods of time and can now sit and listen to a story book.

Marcus is awaiting an assessment around his limited speech and toileting as he currently wears nappies day and night.

His foster parents are so proud of him and are amazed by the things that he learns and achieves every single day.

They enjoy looking after Marcus and want to help him to find a loving adoptive family. Marcus has enjoyed going on holidays with his foster carers and even a recent two week cruise!

Marcus will bring a huge amount of love and joy into any family’s life.

Marcus had a difficult start to his early life, but since moving to his current foster home, he has benefitted immensely from having a consistent routine with lots of play and encouragement. Marcus was initially placed with his sister however, their combined needs resulted in him having a number of moves in his early life.

 What does Marcus need?

We are looking for individuals, couples or families, with or without children, who could offer Marcus all the love, support and care he needs to help him continue to thrive. 

Marcus has an older sister and it is hoped they can keep in contact throughout their lives so adopters would need to support this.

Want to find out more?

We welcome enquiries from people who are just thinking about adoption, prospective adopters in assessment stages or approved adopters with other agencies. You can be single or part of a couple, with or without children in your home (they will need to be older than Marcus) to enquire. We are proud members of New Family Social and we welcome enquiries from the LGBTQ+ community.

We will support you along the way and provide full training. All our approved adopters have access to our Centre for Fostering and Adoption Support offering a wealth of ongoing training.  To find out more information about Marcus, please complete our enquiry form below.
