30 Wishes Honoring 30 Outstanding Adoptive Families
One of MARE’s favorite Adoption Month events is our 30 Wishes campaign, where we celebrate 30 Outstanding Adoptive Families in November. In partnership with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, MARE grants one family a wish each day of the month and features them on our website and social media channels. Families are nominated for the difference they've made in their children's lives, and their stories reflect the love, resilience, and dedication that define adoption.
Nominations are now open!
We are accepting nominations for this year’s 30 Wishes Awards, recognizing Michigan’s outstanding adoptive families!
If you know a family whose love and commitment reflect the heart of adoption, please nominate them today for this special recognition. Each of the 30 winning families will receive a wish of up to $200 to benefit their family, along with an invitation to one of our family-friendly celebrations held in their honor.
To nominate a family and learn more, please visit the 30 Wishes Family Nomination form. The nomination deadline is Friday, August 28th at 5 pm.
We'd love your help celebrating families who are making a meaningful difference in their children's lives!
