Traverse City Adoption Agencies

We are in the process of building our adoption agency database to help with adoption. Please be patient as we're improving our system to serve you better.

Child & Family Services of Northwestern Michigan - Traverse City

Child and Family Services of Northwestern Michigan began life as a branch of the Michigan Children's Aid Society. In 1891, Dr. Amos Barlow founded Michigan's first organization of the Federation of Aid Societies, with Articles of Incorporation filed in 1893. The purpose was "to accept homeless, neglected, and destitute children," and "to find homes for them." The next year, the West Michigan home of the Children’s Aid Society in St. Joseph, Michigan was dedicated as a "receiving home" for children.

Bethany Christian Services - Traverse City

Since 1944, Bethany Christian Services has been reaching out to children who are alone or vulnerable. As a worldwide and community leader in adoption and family services, we know that a child's best chance to thrive is as part of a safe, loving, forever family.

Catholic Human Services, Inc. - Traverse City

Our adoption program is small but distinguished. We have been doing open adoption since 1980, longer than any other agency in the country. Catholic Human Services emerged as a leading national voice for the cause of humanizing the adoption experience. Over the years we have arranged more than 550 open adoptions in northern Michigan, and we are very proud of the outcomes we have witnessed. Adoption makes clear something that is true in all of life: namely, we are interdependent with others. As such, it is very important that you know who you are working with.

Center for Global Adoption

The mission of 1:17 Center for Global Adoption is to build families through domestic and international adoption. We are committed to maintaining an ethical and efficient program that keeps the cost of adoption affordable so that many loving families can adopt.
