Alliance for Adoption

At Alliance for Adoption, we believe that everyone gains when given a chance to learn about one another. Committed to education, counseling and support, our goal is to empower both birth and adoptive parents before and after placement, and to create a positive outcome for everyone involved. We welcome couples and singles of all ages, religions, and ethnic backgrounds.

Adoption presents unique challenges. We will see you through this experience now, and in the future. Call the Adoption Department at 248.592.2345. In the Grand Rapids area, call Kimberly A. Martin, ACSW, 616-676-9949.

We are committed to serving all members involved in the adoption process:
Birth Parents
Adoptive Parents
Adoptees

Adoptive Parents-
When you are thinking about starting a family, and infertility or child bearing issues make it difficult to conceive a child biologically, there is an alternative. Or, maybe you would simply like to begin or expand your family through adoption. Alliance for Adoption offers caring support services and information to assist you with a highly personal and gratifying situation.

We Offer:
Counseling for infertility issues
Support groups for adoptive parents
Home studies for domestic and international adoption by experienced social workers
Legal services for filing documents and required court appearances
Post adoption counseling

Birth Parents:
An unplanned pregnancy often means that you have difficult choices to make.

Adoption can be a loving and responsible option for you and your baby. At Alliance for Adoption we can help you plan the kind of adoption that works best for you.

We provide:
Counseling for individuals and families during and after the pregnancy
Full and accurate information on all of your options
Choices regarding which family will adopt your baby

Adoptees:
Beginning September 12, 1998, any adoptee who will have reached 18 years of age, and whose birth parents terminated their parental rights on or after September 12, 1980, will now be able to obtain the name given to him/her prior to adoptive placement. The adoptee can also obtain other identifying information including names of biological siblings and birth parents. An adoptee will be entitled to this information as long as a birth parent has not filed a statement of denial with the Central Adoption Registry.

Birth parents may contact Anna Donovan at Alliance for Adoption, 248.592.2345 for more information, or to make their denials or consents known to the Central Adoption Registry.
