Providing service to a network of member and cooperating agencies that promote the emotional and social well-being of Michigan's children and families.

On January 1, 1995, Michigan adoption legislation officially created the role of the Confidential Intermediary. Confidential Intermediaries are individuals with specific training in post-adoption services and are appointed to conduct searches for former family members or adult adoptees on behalf of a petitioner. When the party being sought is located, and all individuals are in agreement, the Confidential Intermediary may facilitate a reunion.

PLEASE NOTE  In addition to court appointed cases, confidential intermediary search services are available through our office to former clients of Child & Family Services of Michigan, Inc., (formerly Michigan Children's Aid Society). Prior to conducting a search, the Central Adoption Registry must be accessed with no statements of denial on file. Our program is headed by an experienced social worker that specializes in post-adoption services. For more information, please complete the below form.
