The Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) is a statewide information and referral service for families interested in adopting children from foster care, and for adoption workers looking for homes for these children. The MARE website provides a listing of waiting children in MI and of MI families interested in adopting children with special needs.

MARE is not a placement service — we do not provide care for waiting children and do not complete family home studies or foster care licenses. Instead, MARE refers prospective parents to agencies and answers questions they might have about adoption and children with “special needs.” MARE also provides technical assistance to adoption workers and agencies.

One caring adult can change a child’s life. Could it be you?
If you’re thinking about adoption and want to take the next step, we’re here to help. Our Adoption Navigators, who are all adoptive parents, can answer any questions you may have. They can guide you through the process step by step and assist you in locating an adoption agency to get started.
