CHILD FOSTER CARE & ADOPTION SERVICES
Our Child Welfare Programs are designed to provide safety, stability, and support for children and families facing challenging circumstances. Through foster care, adoption, and family reunification services, we work to ensure every child has a nurturing environment and a path toward a brighter future. Our dedicated team works hand-in-hand with families across Michigan, building happier communities—one child and one family at a time.
Every child deserves a loving, caring, and supportive home. Sadly, thousands of children in Michigan lack the safety and stability they need for a promising future. We invite you to take the first step in discovering how you can be a life-changing support for a child in need.

We provide safe havens for hundreds of children removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect. We support these children by helping them find secure and loving homes, with the ultimate goal of achieving permanency and safety.
Treatment Foster Care provides children with a safe, supportive home while addressing their emotional and behavioral needs. Specially trained foster parents help youth overcome challenges, build stability, and achieve growth through a team-based approach.
We are here to support you through every step of the way. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate each stage, ensuring all requirements are met and that you feel confident and prepared to open your heart and home.
For children who are unable to reunify with their families following removal, we find safe and loving forever families, enabling them to achieve their fullest potential.
“We thought we would foster for a while, to just be a bridge, and then later on down the road we’d look into adoption. Little did we know that our later would turn to sooner as our second placement came open for adoption and we welcomed him into our family.”
Scott and Savannah came to MCHS as newlyweds, ready to start a family. After connecting with our team, they found their true calling—fostering a child in need.
“When your foster kid connects with you for the first time, or when they say, ‘I love you,’ it lets you know that you are the thing they need.”
“We knew that there were a lot of kids out there who needed good parents…we wanted to be those parents to those kids. At the end of the day, it’s all about the kids, just being there for them, to watch them grow up and have the joy that comes from being a part of their lives.”
If you’ve ever thought about fostering or adopting a child who needs a forever home, our team is here to guide you through the process and answer any questions. Please reach out to Stephanie Sears, our Senior Director of Child Welfare Programs,
