Meet the Youth

These In-Depth Profiles were creating by Michigan teens who are looking for a family. These young storytellers are creating their own profiles to reach families like yours.

Some of the teens are marked as Placement Pending or Matched. These statuses indicate that a forever family has been found!

Check back regularly to meet new youth who are sharing their In-Depth Profiles and help us find them the adoptive families they deserve!
