No matter which role you have in an adoption, we believe you deserve a compassionate guide and a crystal-clear process. That’s why at Adoption & Beyond, we dedicate ourselves to building meaningful relationships by educating, guiding, and advocating for all touched by adoption at every step of the adoption journey and beyond.
We believe every child should grow up feeling loved, and we’re on a mission to build healthy families through child-centered adoptions. For more than 25 years, we’ve been listening first, responding with empathy, and helping families confidently navigate a life-changing process.
Rest assured, our services are available to all, and the agency prohibits discrimination based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
A licensed adoption agency serving Kansas & Missouri. We serve pregnant women seeking adoption services and those wanting to adopt in Kansas and Missouri.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Start by researching the state requirements for new parents. In Kansas, all foster parents must:
- Be 21 years or older
- Maintain financial stability
- Live in a safe and comfortable home
- Pass the home inspection
- Provide enough personal space for a foster child
- Clear a background check (all adults in the house)
- Have a valid driver's license and an insured vehicle
- Finish required foster parent training
- Complete the Home Study Process
Good foster parenting requires your best effort, but not "perfect" parenting. Spend time to learn about the foster care system and the information given to you during training and orientation. Once you have become a licensed foster parent, focus on your foster child's wants, needs, and overall well-being.
To learn more about becoming a foster parent in Kansas, contact your local child-placing agency. These social service agencies are state-approved to match foster children with licensed foster care homes.
Every foster agency provides orientation, where you will receive information about foster care and how to obtain a license. Orientation will help you decide if fostering a child is the right path for you and your family. If you are married or in a relationship, ask yourselves questions before committing to fostering together.
After orientation, your next step is the family assessment process, including the Home Study. A social worker at your local child-placing agency will help you through every step.

Best place I have ever been I loved every one there and I had a good time with all the good staff

After looking at several agencies both large and small we chose to work with Adoptions & Beyond. Their honest and informative approach gave my wife and I a wonderfully personal experience. This is opposed to a very commercial or fragmented experience with other agencies available today. We also appreciated the services and support they provide to birth families. Our lives were changed when we successfully adopted our child in 2015 fulfilling our lifelong dream of becoming parents. In fact, we are in the process of working with them again!

I cannot speak highly enough about Adoption & Beyond. The values and principles held by the staff ensure that the birth and adoptive families are treated with the utmost respect and care. This attitude allows for the focus to be completely on growing forever families through adoption. I was honored to be a part of the Adoption & Beyond team and to work under the guidance of Steffany, the director.
