We are almost half-way through October and Halloween is creeping up on us! (It’s easy to miss — Christmas decorations seem to be popping up earlier every year!)

I am 22 male & a young graduate professional. I am quiet, tidy, kind, helpful & responsible. In my younger days, I was a school prefect & my enjoyments include playing the guitar/violin & photography.
My start date for employment (1st full-time job) is 16 Feb 2026 in CBD Wellington & I do not know anyone in Wellington. Public transport is important to central Wellington. The place would be furnished & walking distance to the supermarket as I will not have a car. Character references can be provided.

🌿 Whāngai is a customary Māori practice where a child is brought up by someone other than their birth parents – usually another relative. Whāngai may be temporary or permanent. A parent who takes on a child is called a matua whāngai, and the child is a tamaiti whāngai. The child knows both its birth parents and whāngai parents, and the whole community is usually involved in the decision.
🌿 Reasons for whāngai include:
* finding a home for an orphan
* taking in a child from a large family that was struggling to support all the children
* taking in a child whose parents were young
* grandparents taking in a mokopuna (grandchild) and teaching them tribal traditions
* allowing children to inherit land.
🌿 A whāngai adoption is recognised with regards to succession to Māori land. Also, whāngai parents (matua whāngai) of a child aged under six years can apply for paid parental leave for the period of time when the child begins living with them.
🌿 A child of a whāngai adoption (a tamaiti whāngai) cannot challenge a will under the Family Protection Act.
