Our Mission

Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) is a private nonprofit that bridges the gap between a beleaguered foster care system and the right of every child to a permanent, stable family.

We exist to help find adoptive homes for the hundreds of children and teens in Massachusetts foster care in need of permanent families. We believe in a future where every child has the permanent family they deserve.
