Spectrum Child & Family Services

Spectrum believes every child made legally free for adoption deserves achievement of a permanency plan in a timely manner; and we are committed to providing quality services to achieve this goal and to assist the child and family post-adoptively. Established in 1986, Adoption Services specializes in providing adoption services to children of various ages, race, and ethnic backgrounds, who have been victimized by neglect, abuse, abandonment and or other losses and traumas. These children are from ages birth to age 18 and are permanent wards under Spectrum’s supervision, or have been referred by the state of Michigan or another private agency. Adoption Services are available in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Washtenaw counties. Spectrum’s goal is to provide permanency for children in a timely manner. The children currently reside in foster homes, group homes, shelters, with relative/kinship or in residential placements. A large percentage of the children are over the age of five. Adoption Services offers a variety of pre and post services for the adoptive child and family including training and orientation for all potential adoptive parents and families. In addition, other services include social work assistance, legal documentation/court assistance, medical subsidy exploration, and linkage to social and community resources. These services are available to foster and non-foster families wishing to adopt.
