Accepting Applications

We currently are accepting applications from married couples who have an interest in adoption. CHS works only with “direct consent” placements – as opposed to “special needs” or foster care – where birth parents select the couple to adopt their baby. Since 1980, the agency has been a pioneer and national leader in promoting open adoption and we have placed more than 550 children with families in northern Michigan. We are a “child-centered” program and firmly believe openness best serves the needs of adopted kids. It is common for inquiring couples to have apprehensions, but applicants are made to feel welcome as we help them address their concerns.
