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.

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.
