About the Show Creator/Host/Producer:
Michael Blanchette is the Creator, Host and Producer of "The Adoption Option Project". He and his wife have been married for 28+ years. They are the proud parents of 5 children, 2 of which just happen to have been adopted through state foster care, in Massachusetts.
Mike has worked full time as a Law Enforcement Professional for 31 years, and in addition to working on the project, he volunteers as a Mentor, for the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange based in Newton MA.
Ever since he fostered and later adopted his first child 21 years ago, many people have approached or contacted Mike and his wife on a regular basis, asking about the various aspects of fostering and child adoption.
Mike realized that the general public did not know much about the subject of fostering or child adoption. They especially weren't aware of the ability to adopt the hundreds of children that are in state foster care, in Massachusetts, for little to NO COST!
Mike is of the Roman Catholic faith, and has always taken a stance against abortion.
As a result, Mike created a Not for Profit community service project named "The Adoption Option Project". The project consists of a series of TV Shows, Social Media Pages, and this Official Website. The project's mission is to educate the community about the various aspects of Child Adoption, Child Adoption from Foster Care, and Mentoring. Three of Mike's five children, volunteer and assist with the production of the TV shows, special events and social media pages, when their schedules allow.
If you are facing an un-planned pregnancy, are suffering from "empty nest syndrome", are unable to have children of your own, want to expand your family, or simply want to help a child or teen find a "forever home and family"...
"Remember, Adoption is Always an Option!"
