Adoption Associates, Inc.
Adoption Associates, Inc. promotes domestic and international adoption for God’s glory. The benefits of our Michigan adoption agency offered to birth mothers, their children from unplanned pregnancies, and orphaned children abroad reflect the spirit of adoption modeled by God in Ephesians 1 of the Bible. While AAI is a Christian organization founded on Christian beliefs and values, our pregnancy and adoption services are open to clients of all faiths.
As a leading adoption agency in Michigan, Adoption Associates, Inc. has placed over 5,400 children into loving homes since 1990. Adoption, in the purest sense of the word, is our specialty and passion. More important than any number is our commitment to each child and parent: a commitment to care and to walk each family carefully through each step of the adoption process. No detail will be overlooked, leaving each client with extra peace of mind.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Parents can access the Michigan Foster Care Portal (MFCP), which is a tool that helps expedite licensure. The portal can track progress and list the next steps a foster parent needs to take. The MFCP also contains FAQs and helpful guides for parents.
In addition to online tools, foster families also receive some financial support. How much they receive depends on the child's age and needs. Parents may also be entitled to additional reimbursement that covers care costs.
Plus, foster families can access many local and state-wide support organizations and advocacy groups. These groups provide resources, answer questions, and are happy to help form connections between foster parents.
Your foster care agency is always there if you have questions or concerns. Their goal is to ensure the child's well-being and assist parents through the fostering process and beyond.
Another path you might want to consider is co-parenting with the birth parents. The end goal in most foster cases is to reunite a child with their parents or primary caregiver. You'll work with the birth parents anyway to set up visitations, and co-parenting can make your job easier.
Working further with the birth parents can also make the entire fostering process less stressful for a child. They won't feel as if they have to "choose" between homes and families.

We have been incredibly blessed by Adoption Associates. We had originally started our adoption journey with an out of state agency, but after 2 1/2 years with no success, we switched to Adoption Associates. Our process with AAI was smooth, the support for all parties involved was good, and the relationships we have built have remained.

I have worked for this agency for over 20 years. The women I work with are a caring team of professionals serving women, children and families. We have so much respect for women that make an adoption plan. Our caseworkers provide support and guidance to women thinking about placing their baby for adoption. We recognize that each situation is unique and so is the care and support they are given.
It is also our privilege to help families grow their family through adoption. Our caseworkers meticulously guide their clients through the adoption process in preparation for their adoption.
