Information for people contacted in birth relative searches Midwest Adoption Center is a not-for-profit social service agency responsible for two different programs that help individuals locate relatives from whom they were separated by foster care or adoption. Both of these programs are provided by our agency on behalf of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. It is understandable if you are surprised to receive such a letter or are concerned that our agency is legitimate and reputable. We hope that the detailed information on the program websites will help you understand how both programs work and reassure you.
