What Should I Expect From A Michigan Adoption?
If you are getting started on your adoption journey, you are probably wondering what the steps will look like. Everyone’s process is slightly different depending on the type of adoption you pursue, your relation to the child and your financial standing. A broad outline of adoption is as follows:
- Determine which method of adoption is for you
- Research adoption agencies and decide whether you want to work with one
- Consult a Michigan family law and adoption attorney
- Obtain the correct paperwork and file it with the court
- Take any training or classes required by the state
- File the petition for adoption
Although this list sounds simple, adoption is anything but that. Our lawyers work to remove any roadblocks, educate you about your options and protect your rights. Everything we do, we do to facilitate a timely, affordable and successful adoption.
