Outside Michigan Links & Resources

For families outside of Michigan who are interested in adoption, visit AdoptUSKids. This is a comprehensive national website with many articles, trainings, and state-specific links. It also includes photolistings of children all over the United States and the ability to register as an interested family and complete child-specific inquiries. 

Military families should contact agencies in their home state (where you have residency) to complete the family assessment. More information may also be found by visiting militaryfamily.org, childwelfare.gov, and adoptuskids.org.  

If you live outside of Michigan and are already approved for adoption, you may inquire on Michigan children through the AdoptUSKids online inquiry system. Instructions on inquiring on Michigan children are sent to all interested families through the messaging system of the website.

Many states and regions have their own adoption resource exchanges. To link to these other state-specific resources, view the list below.
