Adopt from Foster Care
Becoming an adoptive parent is the most direct way to help kids in need of adoptive homes. It takes perseverance, courage, and grit. And it is 100% worth it. Create a MARE account or learn more about adoption to get started.
Join the Neighborhood
There are hundreds of kids in need of adoptive homes, but never enough families to adopt them. You can help change that by joining our community of supporters, do-gooders, and collaborators called The Neighborhood. You'll receive simple actions you can take to raise awareness and make a difference each month.
Share Your Story
One of the best ways to raise awareness is by sharing your personal experience with adoption and foster care. Whether you are a parent or adopted individual we would love to work with you to share your story.

Shop
Raise awareness in your every day life by purchasing a shirt (or two!) from the MARE store. While you are there, check out our Fostering Creativity Collection which features the messages and artwork of youth who have experienced foster care.
donate
We rely on community support in order to find adoptive homes for children and teens in foster care. Your support is crucial to changing the lives of kids in foster care and providing support to families.
Become a Sponsor
Organizations and businesses can contribute to MARE's mission by becoming corporate sponsors. By becoming a MARE Sponsor, you will help kids in foster care find the permanence, love, and support they need to thrive.
