Detroit Office Grand Opening
May 17, 2006
Adoption Associates, Inc. is pleased to announce the opening of a brand new office in Detroit, Michigan. “Opening an office in Detroit is an effort to better serve clients in the city,” said Paula Springer, Director of AAI’s Eastern Michigan Offices. “We felt it was important to have an office location where clients can meet with AAI staff in a safe and professional atmosphere, and also to work with local community referral sources to help educate community members about the positive option of adoption.”
Detroit’s population is over 80% African-American, has less than 10% of the state’s total population, but has more than 20% of Michigan’s abortions. Statistics show that one out of every three women entering an abortion clinic today is African-American, with 13 million African-American children having been aborted since 1973.
AAI has a strong interest in reaching out to African-American women and promoting adoption as an alternative to abortion. “This new office in Detroit is a way to offer adoption services to this community and to people who haven’t always had these opportunities,” said Dick Van Deelen, Founding Director of Adoption Associates, Inc.
All are invited to attend the Grand Opening Reception on June 29, 2006 from 10:30am-12:00pm at 3000 Gratiot, Detroit, Michigan (inside the VanElslander Family Center).
