Joseph (1)

Are you ready to open your heart and home to a sweet and loving little boy?

Baby Joseph is a 13-month-old bundle of joy. His shy smile quickly turns into delightful giggles when he’s playing and Joseph’s foster carer lovingly describes him as a calm, patient, and happy baby who rarely cries. Loud noises or bright lights may startle him occasionally, but a gentle cuddle is all it takes to comfort him. He thrives on affection and enjoys babbling and gurgling as he explores the world around him.

Joseph’s days are filled with simple joys. He wakes up gently at around 7 am (he’s a great sleeper) and after a restful night’s sleep, he’s ready to start his day with a hearty breakfast of fruit, rusks, and milk. Playtime on his mat with his favourite toys, especially his spinners and rattle, brings endless giggles. He also adores watching Milkshake! with Paddington Bear being his absolute favourite.

This little one has a gentle routine that helps him feel secure. Two naps during the day keep him refreshed and happy, and evening bath time, followed by cuddles and a bedtime story, is when he’s most at peace. He soothes himself to sleep by 7 pm sleeping soundly through the night.

Joseph is making steady progress in meeting his milestones, though he’s still working on gross motor skills. With encouragement, he’s starting to roll over and reach for toys, showing his determination to grow and learn. He loves interactive toys that light up and make sounds, and his playmat surrounded by soft toys is his little haven of joy.

Mealtime is another highlight of Joseph’s day! While he prefers smooth textures, he’s open to trying new flavours. His favourites include mashed bananas, fruit pots, and milk.

Joseph has formed a close attachment to his foster carer and feels most confident when he’s with familiar faces. He’s a little shy around new people but warms up with time and care. He thrives in a nurturing, loving environment where he feels safe and cherished.

Joseph is looking for a forever family who will shower him with unconditional love, provide him with opportunities to grow, and celebrate his every achievement. Could that family be yours?

If you’re ready to welcome this calm, sweet, and cuddly baby into your life and help him reach his full potential, Joseph might be the perfect addition to your family. Take the next step to becoming an adopter by booking on to our You Can Adopt Information Event.
