Paul Deletesky of Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange, Inc.

MARE’s Executive Director Lisa Funaro  and volunteer Paul Deletesky of the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange, Inc. spoke December 11, 2013.

The Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE), will speak on the need for adoptive families for children in state foster care. If you’ve seen Wednesday’s Child on WBZ-TV with Jack Williams, you’ve already seen some of MARE’s work. 

The Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) was founded in 1957 to bridge the gap between children in state foster care in need of adoption, and adults looking to adopt. MARE has found permanent families for over 6,000 children so far, and has been recognized as a leader in adoption recruitment and information. MARE’s Executive Director Lisa Funaro was honored as an “Angel in Adoption” in October 2013 by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute.
