Photo of Tanner

Tanner is a cheeky, loving and energetic two year old boy. He loves to run around, play chase and has been described as a stunt man as he loves running so much!

Tanner really enjoys bath time and water play – especially when he get to splash his carers! When not running around, he enjoys playing with toys such as vehicles and stacking cups, as well as loving a good nursery rhyme singalong. He is a healthy little boy and his development is as expected for his age. His speech is developing, and he currently enjoys showing off his new skills such as counting and naming colours (purple seems to be his fave!). He has a great appetite and has a variety of favourites, including avocado, eggs, and sausage and chips! He has a good routine and sleeps well.

Whilst he is an active little boy he is also very sociable and loving, and enjoys a cuddle with his carers.

He has started nursery 2 days a week; and enjoys it. Nursery have no concerns about him.

Tanner was placed with his foster carers following discharge from hospital after birth. He has stayed with the same foster carers in this time and is settled, happy and thriving.

Tanner’s carers say that he is a gorgeous little boy. He is a joy to look after and he is a content and happy little boy who is happy to go with the flow.

They are happy with his development and health; they say he is a good eater and sleeper.

Tanner is looking for a one or two parent family. He doesn’t currently live with any other children, however he does get along with children in his foster carers’ family and can join a family that already have children. He needs a family who can support him in maintaining links with his birth family, including siblings who have been adopted, through direct and indirect contact.
