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.

Would not recommend unless your willing and okay with frauds. Gave birth from the county jail. After giving birth I was given four checks that equaled the sum 10,000 about. Instead of going off Kansas laws that imply living expenses. They had me commit a crime and basically sold my child.

Just really good people. Family owned and operated. I was homeless and unable to give my twins what I felt they deserved. There was no way I could take care of them. I was given many profiles of couples and got to choose the parents myself. It was hard, but Rosanna was such a great supportive lady, she made me feel calm when I'd get scared. I Loved them so much. It was probably the greatest act of Love I've ever done for someone. They are 16 now and I sure hope I get to meet them someday soon.

We could not recommend Adoption Agency of Kansas. We trusted them with $10,000 as required as a flat rate to pay for birth mother related expenses. The social worker let me know in writing that this money was being used not for pregnancy related expenses, but to overturn our birth mother’s (BM) criminal convictions and to care for the BM’s elderly grandparent- without asking our permission (illegal). After the BM then decided to keep the baby, we asked multiple times for an itemized list of expenses, and a return of any left over monies in the hope that we could one day try again to adopt. All requests were ignored. We currently have an open case to investigate fraud and negligence with the attorney general of Kansas. As an added insult, they kept all our original legal documents (birth certificates, marriage license etc) after repeat requests they be returned to us. Eventually, we discovered that the documents had been sent to the wrong address via the united states postal service (not even requiring a signature) and our valuable, original, expensive documents had just been lost. How appallingly incompetent for a supposedly professional organization. The communication with the agency was poor throughout, and after the failed match they didn’t respond to any contact. In the end for them it seemed to be just about money. We feel totally duped and scammed by the agency to gain funds while hard working couples, wanting to adopt go home empty handed. Disgusting.
