Anyone from Michigan?

[joskids]

We moved to Ohio from Grosse Pointe, Michigan. We adopted our oldest son in Michigan. Since moving to Ohio, we've adopted 3 more.

Nice to meet you all. I am in mid-Michigan. I grew up in Southfield so I am VERy familiar with the Royal Oak, Rochester areas. Small world, huh?! Have a great day.

I am from Michigan how are you. Born in Detroit, but now live in Canton. Have you adopted yet?

[McDuff]

SadMomma,
Hubby and I have adopted from S.Korea, we are in the process of our first domestic adoption. We're waiting for a "proof" copy of the profile and then we are live! We are so excited!!!

We live in OH now, but used to live in Ferndale and have done two adoptions through Morningstar in Southfield (and just started on #3). We have very open adoptions with both birthfamilies and are in town at least quarterly for visits.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

HI! I am in the Kzoo/Portage area. We have been here about 2 years now. We adopted our son from Nicaragua, and are now pregnant with another son. He is due in April. Total surprise, but we are getting used to the idea!

Anyone else on my side of the state?

I did grow up in Troy, and my whole family lives in Macomb County. Seriously, they are scattered over the ENTIRE county, so I know most of it!

I am from Grand Rapids Michigan! Just thought I would say high to all you other Michiganders. This is my first day on this forum.
We are just beginning the adoption process. We have not yet found an agency to go through. Some of the local agencies seem very pricey. We are looking to adopt AA or BR newborn. I have considered using a facilitator, but not sure how that works in Michigan. Anyone have any ideas or used one themselves?

Have a pleasant day!

Welcome Mamabean!! I am from Grand Rapids too! We have had five very successful adoptions in exactly five years (to the date) and have just gotten asked if we would be interested in number 6!! PM me sometime if you'd like.

I wondered where all the Michigan folks were hiding! We're in Coldwater.

I hardly ever post and I always forget to check the MI thread. Actually I am not even sure how I found this one but it seems that someone else from GR (we have a mutual friend in common) has found me on here by figuring out my profile- it's a small world!

I'm also in Grand Rapids. We did the local agency run around for a year with no luck and I know a few people who are good. You can PM me for my opinions, if you want. Our daughter is 5 months old now and we're already thinking about adopting again!

[Honesty76]

It's great to see all these GR families surfacing! Wouldn't it be ironic if we found out we knew each other from the adoption classes or the adoption conference? (which by the way, if you don't know what conference I am talking about and you live in the GR area PM me, it's awesome!!)
