Adoption Option, Inc. was founded in 1986 and is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit licensed child-placing agency in both Missouri and Kansas. It has offices conveniently located in both states and has assisted in placing close to 1100 children with adoptive families. We have facilitated adoptions in numerous states and with many foreign countries.
Adoption Option believes expectant and birth parents are among the most selfless people in the world. We have worked with hundreds of expectant and birth parents throughout the years and have never met one who did not want to parent their baby. They make adoption plans for their child out of unconditional love – putting their child’s needs before their own. At Adoption Option, we believe there are three ways to build a family – birth, marriage, and adoption. Adoption is a natural way to build a family. We believe the child is special because of who he or she is, not because they are adopted.

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.

Hillary is very well-meaning and her heart is in the right place but she does not work for you. She works for the birth mothers, not for you. She will not advocate personally for you to find a child. She will instead give you "resources" to find the child or birth mother on your own. You need to know this going in. You write the checks, but the services are not catered to you as much as they are to the birth mother. If a birth mother does not choose you, then you are out of luck and money, and left wondering why.
