Right now there are over 850 children in Massachusetts foster care, waiting for adoption. These children have no permanent family. We want to change that.
We are seeking to create compelling video snapshots of waiting children, in order to recruit adoptive families. These short films help us capture the unique spirit and heart of each child, so that we are more able to connect them to families for adoption.
As a volunteer videographer, you will be connected with one of our many waiting children and their social workers around the state to capture footage that will be edited into a 2-5 minute piece.
Whether you are an amateur exploring videography or a seasoned professional, we would love to work with you!
You can find an example of our completed video snapshots here:

Mission Statement
The Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) finds adoptive homes for children and teens in foster care.
Description
MARE works mostly behind the scenes to
- DEVELOP a PROFILE of each local youth in need of adoption,
- DESIGN a targeted plan to recruit potential parents for each waiting child,
- INFORM adults about the general need for adoptive families,
- EDUCATE prospective families about the adoption process, supports and benefits,
- MATCH prospective parents with specific children awaiting adoption,
- MOVE youth from temporary foster care to permanent family life.
MARE is the organization behind the Wednesday's Child profiles on WBZ TV and Sunday's Child in the Boston Sunday Globe, as well as nearly 30 other media outlets. We create the Heart Gallery photography exhibit of children in need of adoption. We host Adoption Parties to give children awaiting adoption the chance to get together with their peers, and to meet adults interested in adoption in a low key setting.
