Adoption is a wonderful option to form a "forever family." For a child, adoption offers an option for stability and permanence. Adoption offers a parent or parents the unique experience of parenting that may not be available to them otherwise. Both the parents and the child benefit immeasurably from the relationship. If you have an interest in adoption, I would be happy to talk with you to answer questions you may have.
I have practiced adoption law for over ten years. I have done adoptions between unrelated individuals, related individuals, guardians who wish to adopt the children for whom they are caring, and even adult adoptions. I am licensed in Michigan, but have worked with attorneys in other states to finalize adoptions if one of the parties lives in this state.
Please call or email me if you have questions, whether you are pregnant and considering making an adoption plan for your child or are a prospective adoptive parent. I look forward to talking with you. I have practiced adoption law in Michigan for over 10 years after a long career in maternal child health nursing.

Michigan law allows a legal parent to choose unrelated prospective adoptive parents for her child and to transfer physical custody of the child to the prospective adoptive parents for purposes of adoption.
This is known as a Direct Placement Adoption.
When there is an adoption of a child between unrelated persons, each side is entitled to representation by different attorneys.
This separate representation assures there is no conflict of interest and that each attorney may fulfill their professional responsibility to maintain the client's confidences and represent their interests.

In Michigan, a relative adoption is one which occurs between individuals who are closely related, as defined by the statute.
I will help you to determine if you fall within the defined relationship.
However, even if the relationship is not close enough to be defined as a relative adoption, you may still adopt the child as if you were unrelated.
The process of relative adoption is similar to the process for direct placement adoption from the birth mother's and prospective adoptive parent's view, but legally the steps vary somewhat.
