COMPASSION
We use optimism, inclusiveness, and diligence as ways to express our value of Compassion
All children need and deserve to grow up in a permanent loving family where they know they belong. We believe that there is a family for every waiting child. We look to a diverse group of individuals and families to come forward and consider building their family through adoption.
We support all interested potential parents to help them reach their goal – to parent a child or children. Through our innovative programs and committed staff, we bridge the gap between children waiting for adoption, potential adoptive families, and social workers.
We strive to create an environment where each individual person is respected and encouraged to share equally and equitably within the agency. We strive to provide each person with the tools and skills necessary to be successful in their role at MARE.
We use optimism, inclusiveness, and diligence as ways to express our value of Compassion
We promote creativity, adaptability, education, and urgency as our drivers of Innovation
Our mission is predicated on collaboration with social workers, families, funders, and institutions and we hold this value to the highest test each and every day
When we promote the Values of Compassion, Innovation, and Collaboration, we accomplish our mission of finding more adoptive families for our waiting children in foster care.
While the first goal of foster care is always to return kids to their family of origin once it is safe to do so, that's not always possible. We help youth in foster care in need of an adoptive home find a family that matches their needs.
We exist especially to find adoptive homes for those children who wait the longest for adoptive placements.
