Welcome, families and caseworkers

Welcome, families and caseworkers. We have integrated the functionality of WARE (Washington Adoption Resource Exchange) into this Northwest Adoption Exchange website.

Use your normal WARE account information to log in here—just click on “WA access” in the upper right corner of the site. Your user name and password will work as they did on the WARE site (warekids.org).

We made this change to better support you in visiting both sites. Now you’ll have access to all the features you’re used to, and then some, in one convenient location.

Families

Families, your login will still give you access to WARE youth profiles, viewable only to home-studied families in Washington. And you can still contact caseworkers directly to inquire about Washington children and youth. They are labeled as “WA access”:

You can see all Washington-labeled profiles by choosing the "WA access" filter:

Caseworkers

Caseworkers, your login will still help you register youth to be viewed by only home-studied, licensed families in Washington State or by all families who visit Northwest Adoption Exchange. And you will still be able to use the site to find home-studied families in Washington State for youth on your caseload.
