*Meet Maisy! She is six years old and was adopted internationally when she was five and a half. She was adopted by a family that has three biological children at home—a daughter, 16; a daughter, 14; and a son, 11. Because Maisy came from an orphanage, she has struggled with attaching to any of her siblings, and she views them as competitors for her parents’ attention. She isn’t happy when they are around, and she really just wants her parents to spend all their time with her. For this reason, they are looking for a new family for Maisy where she doesn’t have to always feel the need to compete, and she can relax and get the individualized attention she craves.

Her family is looking for a traditional Christian couple or single mom with no other kids in the home. They are open to families with no kids under 9 years old as long as they have experience with adopting an older child or have had training in adopting a child who has lived in an orphanage or has attachment issues. Other children in the home need to be more independent and emotionally able to share their parents’ attention.

Maisy is typically a happy, joyful, energetic, and charming little girl. She is very social and enjoys being with people. She has come a long with learning English, but still has a ways to go. She’s also learned a lot about living in a family vs an institution. She needs a family who will continue to walk with her as she develops these skills. She enjoys time with adults more than kids as she’s not quite sure how to interact with them without feeling competitive.

Maisy loves anything pink and purple and girly movies like Frozen. She likes dancing, singing, crafts, and playing on her kindle. She enjoys creating things out of playdoh, making bracelets, and painting. Her favorite food is coconut chicken curry and any kind of sweet treat.

This is a private adoption, so a state or foster home study might not work. A private domestic home study is generally required. You will need to have a current home study for this adoption.

Due to state laws, we are not able to place this child in CT, MA, NY, or DE. If you live in OR, you may need to travel to the child’s state to finalize this adoption. If you live in WI, please let us know, as the adoption process may be longer and more expensive than what is listed in our paperwork. If you have never had a home study before, we cannot help you adopt this child. But, we would love to share with you the process of starting a home study so you could be approved for a child in the near future. Please write to us and ask how to get started!

If you are a U.S. citizen living overseas, we may be able to work with you depending on a few details. Please let us know your situation.

Adoption is a legal process so there will be costs associated.This adoption may qualify for the IRS Adoption Tax Credit.

*To protect the privacy of our waiting children and their families, Second Chance does not share real names for our waiting children on the Internet. It is our policy to only share a snippet of a waiting child’s details as well as the type of adoptive family we are looking for. If you fit the POSTED REQUIREMENTS, are home study ready (or can be soon!), and interested in adding this child to your family, please write to us for an honest, in-depth profile on the child including medical, educational, and behavioral information and learn the full story of why this child needs a secondary adoption. Our program social worker and program director have worked together with the child’s family to carefully set the requirements for the new family. These requirements are not negotiable, so please honor the needs of this child by not asking us to bend them for you.
