Recently, I took a pregnancy test, and it was positive. Unfortunately, I don’t feel ready to parent a child, so I am now feeling very overwhelmed! After a thorough Google search and considering my unplanned pregnancy options, I decided to start the adoption process for my baby.
Next, I was wondering if there were adoption agencies in Michigan that I could contact for some help. I found Adoption Associates and decided to contact them. I’m really glad that I did because they were so understanding and supportive of my desire for an adoption for my baby.
As an adoption agency in Michigan, Adoption Associates (AAI) has been guiding birth mothers since 1990. Our staff members are especially skilled at providing pregnancy services. They support and guide women as they consider adoption for their child. There is no pressure. There is no obligation. All services to women planning adoption are free of charge and confidential.
