MARE's mission is to find permanent adoptive homes for kids waiting right now in the Massachusetts foster care system.
MARE exists to bring prospective adoptive families and children waiting for adoption one step closer to becoming a family. We do this by supporting families as they navigate the process of foster care adoption from the first call through adoption finalization. MARE staff are available during business hours to speak with families about the adoption process, refer them to adoption agencies in their region, and provide information about specific waiting children. Once a family has an approved homestudy, MARE works to identify prospective child matches statewide. Additionally, MARE hosts informational meetings, adoption parties, family support trainings and family networking events throughout the year.
