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.

The staff at Adoption & Beyond made the process of adoption easier and approachable. The personal attention and assistance they give to each couple is outstanding. If we had to do the adoption process again, we would choose Adoption & Beyond.

I worked with Adoption & Beyond since Stefany Aye first opened. Stefany and her team work with both birth families and adoptive families to make the process as stress free as possible. Stefany and her team go above and beyond to help create families.

We went through Adoption and Beyond for all of our training and our homestudy prior to pursuing a private adoption. They helped us every step of the way and helped to make the process as smooth as possible. We can't recommend them highly enough!

For our adoption, the country we went through required them to get approved by them. This took 13 months of paperwork and constantly resending documents that had already been done before... They went above and beyond to help us!! Every request from the other country resulted in Adoption and Beyond preparing and sending it out in 24 HOURS!! Every single time! Also, the encouragement of them letting us know they are with us every step of the way. We will always be grateful for their help in our adoption process! Amazing agency! Thank you, Stephanie, Shawna and Julie!!
