The Michigan Supreme Court has declared November 22 to be "Michigan Adoption Day." Over 30 counties will participate in the third annual Michigan Adoption Day, co-sponsored by the Michigan Supreme Court and Department of Human Services. Adoptions will be finalized that day, drawing attention to the adoption process and to the fact that thousands of foster children in Michigan need permanent homes. This webpage will be updated frequently throughout November.
