Domestic adoption is a great option to choose if you want to start your family or help a child in need. Adoption Pros offers to process designated and agency matched adoptions for Michigan families. Designated adoption occurs when adoptive family specifies birth family or birth mother, who they found without the agency's involvement, or when birth parents specify their adoptive family of choice. A matched adoption happens when the agency introduces or matches adoptive and birth parents. It is important to emphasize that the birth parents almost always choose the adoptive family. Therefore, their wishes regarding age, location, number of children in the family, ethnic background, and degree of openness in the adoption process, will determine whom they select. Adoptive families are encouraged to explore their feelings, desires, and options regarding the adoption of a child with a different racial or cultural background during the home study process.

Our policy of affordable domestic adoption is based on equal agency fees regardless of the ethnicity of the child involved. The only variable would be the amount of service and financial assistance required by the birth mother situation. Every attempt would be made to meet the needs of the birth mothers, while including community resources and referrals to supplement the expenditures of the families. To reiterate, our goal is to make adoption affordable for as many families as possible.

Openness would be encouraged in the form of pictures, letters and videos; personal contact between birth parents and adopted children would be discouraged. The openness agreement, as well as the adoption plan, would be individualized to meet the needs and wishes of both the birth and adoptive parents...the counseling and mediation required would be part of the services of agency.
