Re: Adoption

There is not a 2-year waiting period in Michigan. however, you would either need the natural parent's permission to effectuate the adoption, or go through certain procedures as required by Michigan law, such as giving him notice of the pending/proposed adoption, and then if he doesn't respond, you can proceed with the adoption.
