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.

I am an attorney and have worked professionally with American Adoptions for nearly 10 years. Every staff member of the agency I have encountered truly cares about the agency's adopting families and birth parents. They approach every adoption with integrity, attention to detail and compassion. I highly recommend American Adoptions.

Our Agency has worked with American Adoptions for several years now. We have always found them to provide not only the highest level of professional services, but consistently demonstrate compassion and integrity with both their birth parents and prospective adoptive parents. From the person who answers the phone, all the way to the Executive Director at American Adoptions, our experiences have always been extremely positive.

I placed my baby for adoption thru American adoptions. My adoption specialist Shannon was absolutely amazing thru it all. She was there for me every step of the way and, almost 3 months later is still there for me. I very much feel that she and the other specialists really care. With American adoptions you truly have people who understand you and your feelings and who really want to help in every way they can. I am very happy I chose them to help me in placing my child.
