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.

American Adoptions was the best agency we worked with. They were professional in every sense of the word but were also compassionate and understanding when we were anxious. They are worth every cent that we invested in helping us have our baby, who means everything to us. We would definitely use them for a second adoption. We also recommended them to our friends. No question!

We expanded our family through American Adoptions in 2015. Our son is now two and we could not have been more pleased with our experience. We had three biological children and knew we would always adopt as well. American Adoptions was so helpful throughout the entire process, from beginning and even until today. The counseling and preparation they provided for both the birth mom and adoptive family is amazing. We know we could not have done this whole process without them. We are very thankful they completed our family and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. I recommend them to friends who are beginning the adoption process time and time again.

We adopted through American Adoptions and had a wonderful experience! They were so easy to work with. They coached us through the entire process, and everything went very smoothly. We chose them because they are one of the largest agencies, give great emotional support to the birth mothers, and the 'match' time was short compared to other agencies. We highly recommend. We love our daughter so much and can't imagine life without her!
