 NATIONAL
ADOPTION MONTH
November
is National Adoption Month. It is a month set aside to raise
awareness about adoption of children from foster care. Each
year there are national and state events to recognize and
celebrate adoption. Below are a few ways MARE helps to raise
awareness during National Adoption Month each year.
National
Adoption Day
On National Adoption Day, an unprecedented number of courts
across the country will open their doors to legalize the adoptions
of thousands of children from foster care and to celebrate
and honor all families that adopt. In 2006, more than 200
adoptions of children from foster care were legalized in eight
cities across Massachusetts as a result of National Adoption
Day. MARE is the lead organizer for National Adoption Day
in Massachusetts.
 MARE
Awards for Social Workers
Established in 1998, the MARE Awards recognize the exceptional
work done by adoption agencies and individual social workers
to accomplish our common goal of finding permanent families
for waiting children.
