Thank you for your interest in Michigan's waiting children.

A friendly note from your webmaster:

Children waiting for adoption have suffered multiple losses. Oftentimes the only link a child has to his or her past is a sibling. Whenever possible workers try to recruit for and place siblings together. That is why if you request information about one child who is featured as part of a sibling group, you will automatically be inquiring about all of the children listed.

Sibling splits are considered only as a last resort.

Please choose one of the following:

	I have an approved, completed ADOPTION (not foster care) homestudy/Family Assessment.
	I am in the process of completing an ADOPTION (not foster care) homestudy/Family Assessment.
	I do not have a completed ADOPTION (not foster care) homestudy/Family Assessment.
	I am an adoption worker requesting information about a child for one of my families.

NOTE: While laws vary from state to state, a foster care license/homestudy is not the same as an adoptive homestudy/Family Assessment. Even licensed, studied foster parents must complete an adoptive homestudy/Family Assessment before adopting.
