Please - Help MARE find loving adoptive homes for kids in state foster care.

We seek more families like the couple who adopted12-year-old Gary, the baseball fanatic who never had a chance to play while in foster care for nearly 6 years. Gary moved in with his new mom and dad, after meeting at a MARE Adoption Party. His new Dad, a former pro baseball player, sent us an update:

                I don't want to brag, but thought you may be interested...

Our son played in his first baseball game last night. Gary's on the Rockies, and wears #12, but is number one in our hearts.  He also marched in the town Baseball Parade. In his first game, ever, he went 3 for 3 (batting 1,000), stole six bases, scored twice and had many RBIs. He played center, right, and left fields and handled most defensive opportunities with distinction.

He couldn't be happier with his new school, and looks forward to a long and lucrative career in baseball... after college, and before being elected to the Senate.

Gary now answers to the self-anointed moniker, "Grand Slam Gary."

You can hear the pride and delight in this adoptive dad’s boasting. But all our kids need to be “number one” in someone’s heart.  And your donation can make the difference!
