Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange


The Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) is an information and referral service for prospective adoptive parents interested in adopting children with "special needs," and for adoption workers looking for homes for these children.

The MARE website provides a photo listing of waiting Michigan children and of Michigan families interested in adopting children with special needs. The child listings are updated bimonthly, typically at the beginning and end of each month.

MARE is not a placement service -- it does not provide care for waiting children and does not do family home studies. 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.
