What We Do
Adoption Associates specializes in private adoption and has been assisting birth parents and adoptive families since 1990. We facilitate the entire adoption process from the very first phone call or text. With offices across Michigan, we serve the entire state.
Our compassionate staff members work hard to provide excellent services to pregnant women who are considering adoption for their child. All services to pregnant women are confidential and free. There is no obligation – we are here to help. If you are thinking about adoption for your child, we encourage you to call us at (616) 667-0677 or text us at (248) 283-4673. Click HERE to learn more.

OUR MISSION
Adoption Associates, Inc. promotes domestic and international adoption for God’s glory. The benefits of our Michigan adoption agency offered to birth mothers, their children from unplanned pregnancies, and orphaned children abroad reflect the spirit of adoption modeled by God in Ephesians 1 of the Bible. While AAI is a Christian organization founded on Christian beliefs and values, our pregnancy and adoption services are open to clients of all faiths.
