Meet Max and Cecee
Max (3 years old) and Cecee (5 months) are a sweet sibling duo looking for an adoptive family who can offer them the safe, nurturing, and consistent love they deserve.
Max – A loveable, cheeky, happy chappie
This playful little man is full of joy and energy. He loves to play – building tall towers with his bricks, dancing to Bluey, scooting around outside and splashing in water (his absolute favourite!). He’s also developing a real love of stories and enjoys being read to at quiet times.
Despite a difficult start in life, Max has made wonderful progress. Prior to entering foster care, he didn’t have much structure, but he’s now starting to understand and accept routines and boundaries. His foster carers say he’s doing really well and has formed positive attachments with them—he even gives them a little kiss goodbye before visits.
Max is a great eater—he feeds himself confidently and enjoys a wide range of foods including pasta, vegetables, jelly, and his favourites: spaghetti, sausage and bacon! He winds down with In the Night Garden or Paw Patrol and he’s thriving in a consistent and secure environment.
His early life had a number of challenges and while he is developing well, it’s important to note that some developmental impacts may emerge as he grows. His speech is being monitored and we’re seeking adopters who can confidently advocate for him in any medical or educational needs that arise.
Most of all, Max needs parents who will be patient, loving, and therapeutic in their approach, helping him grow into his full potential with a strong sense of identity and self-worth.
Cecee – A beautiful bundle of joy
Cecee is a sweet and content little baby who truly lights up the room. Her foster carers describe her as “a beautiful bundle of joy.” who loves cuddles, enjoys being held and has begun to recognise and respond to familiar voices – her bond with her carers and with Max is growing stronger every day.
Cecee loves her pushchair walks and the gentle motion of waves and vibrations often help to soothe her. Bath time is one of her favourite parts of the day—it’s part of her calming bedtime routine and she visibly relaxes in the water.
She was discharged from hospital straight into the care of her foster carers, where she joined her big brother Max. She’s currently on high-energy feeds to support her weight gain and her development is progressing well. The health visitor is pleased with her progress and she is increasingly spending longer periods awake and engaging with the world around her.
Cecee’s needs are being consistently met and she is thriving in her current placement. She is forming strong attachments and is a true delight to care for.
What kind of family do they need?
We are looking for a couple who can offer both Max and Cecee the safe, stable and loving environment they need to continue flourishing. A single adopter could be considered if they can demonstrate a strong and reliable support network.
Given Max’s early experiences and Cecee’s young age, their adoptive parents will need to:
