Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between the foster care system and the right of every child to have a permanent, stable family. With hundreds of children and teens in Massachusetts foster care in need of permanent homes, MARE exists to help find adoptive families for them. They believe in a future where every child has the loving family they deserve, and they rely on a wide community of supporters, families, and change-makers to make this dream a reality.

Whether you're a social worker, a prospective parent, or a caring individual wanting to make a difference, MARE offers support, resources, and opportunities for involvement. You don't need to be a perfect parent to adopt from foster care, but you do need courage, grit, and perseverance. Join MARE and be a part of changing lives and creating forever families
