Adoption

The Department of Human Services (DHS) is given the charge of finding permanent homes for children who have come into the state's care. Michigan takes great efforts to encourage the adoption of children who are permanent state and court wards by families who understand the children's sometimes painful and traumatic backgrounds and are willing to provide the parenting and home life necessary to care for them.

The "Adopting a Child in Michigan" (Pub 823) booklet provides an overview of Michigan's adoption law, describes the types of adoptions available in Michigan, the role of the court and other helpful information. Additional information can be found under the Frequently Asked Questions section.
