Adoptive families like you deserve short, accurate wait times and financial protection that keeps your adoption budget safe. We’re the only agency that provides both. Your dream of starting a family can become a reality.
The adoption process is an amazing journey, and it starts right here. We believe you deserve complete support during your adoption from start to finish. That’s why we provide more comprehensive adoption services than other professionals — so that you can feel confident and secure in your adoption.
We look forward to meeting you and discussing your needs. There’s a lot that goes into adoption. If you’re thinking about this journey as a way to start or grow your family, you’ll need a lot of support along the way.
Most professionals specialize in one aspect of the process — they might provide home studies, marketing services, or casework support. The difference with American Adoptions is that we can do it all.
We want you to experience the most comprehensive support that puts you in the position to have a successful adoption process. Because of our large staff size, decades of adoption experience, and high adoption success rates, you can have the adoption experience you deserve.

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.

We have been blessed beyond words through the adoption of our son and owe a tremendous deal of gratitude to American Adoptions for helping us make our dream a reality. Our experience working with Emily Droge and Kathie Hoffmann of the American Adoptions team was nothing short of wonderful. Very professional, knowledgeable and more importantly available each step of the way. A truly great agency and great people! Thanks American Adoptions!

American Adoptions is absolutely amazing. I am a birth mom and they were there every step of the way! Rachel helped me to find the perfect family. I can't thank them enough for being with me every step of the way!

I really had a positive experience through my adoption process from my adoption agent, to my coordinator, to financial assistance, to placement, to scholarship opportunities. My biggest worry was that they did not care for my needs, my feelings, my emotions during this difficult time. I'm so happy that my fears did not come true because I received compassion and support from everyone I worked with. So grateful for this agency!

Emily and Kathie were our dream team...literally. When they say it takes a village to raise a family; I say it took a village to BUILD our family and that village is American Adoptions. I cannot thank them enough for being an integral part of building our beautiful family. Every single person you talk to no matter where you are in the process is kind, caring, patient and so unbelievably supportive. This process is not easy, but so very worth it and American Adoptions is exceptional at it. Thank you, thank you, a hundred times thank you for helping us build our family. We love you all and will never forget each and every one of you.

Professional. Compassionate. Responsive. These three words best describe our experience with American Adoptions. We adopted both of our children through them and both times always had our messages returned within 24 business hours and all the staff we worked with were caring and courteous. We highly recommend them.
