November 20, 2007 has been declared "Michigan Adoption Day" by the Michigan Supreme Court. Over 30 Michigan courts will participate in this event, now in its fifth year. Participating courts finalize adoptions, hold parties for adoptive families, and have other activities aimed at educating the public about the adoption process. Michigan Adoption Day is co-sponsored by the Michigan Supreme Court, Michigan Department of Human Services, Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange, and the Family Services Division of the State Court Administrative Office.
This page will be updated frequently throughout November.
