Every now and then Michigan's legislature gets something right and this just may be one of those times! The made a long overdue change that finally acknowledges the importance of family in children's lives over the whims of CPS Bureaucrats. The Legislature just passed:
2022 PA 211 which amending the "Foster Care and Adoption Services Act" to: (1) REQUIRE that preference be given to an adult related to the child by blood, marriage, or adoption as part of a child's initial case service plan following removal [Family was historically given no added value over total strangers before this change]; and (2) to specifically define the good cause exceptions to this preference.
