About Adoption Associates

Serving Women and Families Nationally since 1990

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.

Welcome To Adoption Associates

Adoption Associates’ staff members look forward to working with you!
