Families have the opportunity to describe the
kind of child or children they are interested in adopting and search for
children who are registered with MARE. You will be asked to create an
account with your email address, a password and some basic family contact
information. Once you have done this, you can conduct a search and make
inquiries to MARE about particular children. Families also have the option to
create a family "Profile", which indicates the characteristics of the child or
children they are interested in adopting. From this profile, MARE will send
automatic email notification of the children who meet the description in the
profile.
Social workers
have the opportunity to search for both waiting children and families. As
a social worker, you can create an account by clicking below and entering basic
information such as your name, agency and contact information. The child
search functions the same as it does when families are searching for children,
except that as a social worker, you will not have the ability to create a
profile and receive automatic notifications. In order to search for
families, you will enter information about the type of family you are looking
for and basic information about the families will be returned to you via email.
You can then call or email the MARE office to find out families' names and
social workers' contact information. Due to issues with confidentiality, we
cannot provide families' names or contact information through the web.

If you do not currently have an account, then you’ll need to create an account
before searching for children.
