The private company is based in Boston, MA. Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange, Inc. (MARE) is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to finding permanent adoptive homes for children and teens in foster care who cannot return to their birth families. The organization works closely with the Massachusetts Department of Children & Families and partner agencies, focusing on children who are often older, part of sibling groups, children of color, or those with complex needs. MARE operates two main departments: child services, which conducts child-specific recruitment through personalized plans, media campaigns, and events; and family support services, which provides education, consultations, mentorship, home study registration, and post-adoption support for prospective and adoptive families. The organization offers comprehensive resources including guidance on the adoption process, trauma-informed parenting education, transracial adoption support, sibling connection preservation, and legal information. The company's learning center features articles, videos, e-books, webinars, and FAQs to educate and support families and professionals. MARE also runs initiatives such as the "fostering creativity" campaign, which empowers youth with foster care experience to express themselves through art, raising awareness and challenging stereotypes about foster care and adoption.
