Will (0)

Get ready to fall in love with Will – a gorgeous, giggly little boy whose bright smile can light up any room. This happy, affectionate baby is full of laughter and curiosity, and he brings joy wherever he goes.

Will has a calm and playful nature, and he thrives on affection and gentle cuddles. He’s at that wonderful stage where everything is an adventure – whether he’s exploring his toys, rolling across his play mat, or delighting in new foods at mealtime.

A day in the life of Will

Will usually wakes up around 6:30-7am, refreshed after a full night’s sleep. Breakfast is one of his favourite times of day – he loves baby porridge, mushy Weetabix, or a bit of toast he can nibble on (and sometimes share with his carers!).

He lives in a busy, loving household with other children and enjoys being part of the action. Mornings often include a school drop-off followed by a fun playgroup or a visit with family. Will is a sociable little boy who loves meeting new people and being out and about.

Back at home, he enjoys time on his play mat. He can roll confidently, sit up on his own, and is starting to make crawling movements – it won’t be long before he’s off exploring!

When the day winds down, Will adores bath time, where he splashes happily and giggles at the bubbles. Afterward, it’s time for cuddles, milk, and a good night’s sleep.

Will’s best bits

It’s hard to pick just one! Will’s carers say his sparkling blue eyes, gummy smile, and infectious belly laugh are irresistible. He’s a calm, loving, inquisitive, and joyful little boy who brings happiness to everyone around him.

Will’s favourite things

  • Outings: Will loves getting out and about – he’s a true social butterfly
  • Playtime: He enjoys being with other children and joining in their fun.
  • Food: He’s embracing his weaning journey — favourites include porridge, bananas, spaghetti bolognese, and his top pick mashed potato with gravy.
  • Music: Will lights up when someone sings to him, especially ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat’ or ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It’.
  • TV: He’s intrigued by Cocomelon, though he’s still more interested in playtime than screen time.
  • Pets: Will lives with a cat and knows to be gentle – he enjoys the company of animals.

What Will needs

Will has been cared for lovingly since he was five weeks old and is now thriving in his foster home. He’s developing beautifully and meeting all his milestones. As he moves forward, Will will need adoptive parents who can offer:

  • Patience and consistency to help him form secure attachments.
  • Warmth and affection – to nurture his emotional well-being.
  • Curiosity and playfulness – to match his love for exploring and learning.

Support for you

Family Adoption Links will be with you every step of the way. You’ll have access to:

  • Comprehensive training in therapeutic parenting and understanding Will’s life story.
  • Guidance through life story work, helping Will understand his journey as he grows.
  • Ongoing emotional and practical support from social workers.
  • Access to the Adoption Support Fund for future therapeutic services if needed.
  • Additional school funding and priority school placement when he’s older.

The perfect match

Will will thrive in a loving, stable home with parents who can offer warmth, patience, and a sense of fun. He’ll bring endless smiles, laughter, and cuddles to the lucky family who welcomes him into their hearts.
