Michigan Consents by Parent to Adoption of Indian Child is a form of consent required by both state and federal law when a non-Native American family wishes to adopt a Native American child. It is a legal document that requires the consent of the child's biological parent(s) or legal guardian, as well as the approval from the tribe where the child is a member. This consent is required in order for the adoption to be legally recognized. There are two types of Michigan Consent by Parent to Adoption of Indian Child: 1) Voluntary Consent, which is obtained from the biological parent or legal guardian of the child; and 2) Tribal Court Consent, which is obtained from the tribe where the child is a member. In both cases, the parent or guardian must provide written consent to the adoption, including proof of their relationship to the child, before the adoption can be finalized. Once the consent is obtained and all the other requirements for adoption are met, the adoption can be finalized.
