MARE is hosting two Adoption events in one night! 

Waiting Family Forum, on 6/20/24 from 5:30pm-7:00pm. Please join us starting at 5:20pm via Zoom. 

The process of waiting to be matched with a child can be exciting, confusing and frustrating at times. To assist you through this process, the MARE Adoption Navigators are hosting a Waiting Family Forum. Join us and learn exactly what happens to your inquiries after you submit them on the MARE website at www.mare.org; find out what you can do to make the most of your wait time; learn ways to strengthen your inquiries; get tips on how to effectively advocate for your family; and meet other waiting families.
Families who are approved to adopt and those waiting for their homestudy to be approved are welcome to attend. 

Teen Spotlight, on 6/20/24 from 7:00pm-8:30pm. Please join us at 7:00pm via Zoom. 

Join us to learn more about some of MARE's waiting teens. Adoption Workers will be in attendance so families can ask any questions they have directly with no waiting to hear back. Your family might be the perfect fit for one of the featured youth! You MUST be approved for adoption and/or licensed for foster care to attend. 

Pre-registration is required. Please complete the questions below. You can register for one of these events or both. The training is Free. You will be asked to complete a brief satisfaction survey at the conclusion of the training and we will email you a training certificate if requested. 

Location:
This training will be taking place on Zoom only. You will receive a reminder and the Zoom login information a few days before the events. We will also be emailing you the PowerPoint presentation along with handouts for the WFF.  As you enter the training your microphone will be automatically muted. We do ask to turn your camera on so everyone can ask questions and participate.
