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.

If I could give them zero stars I would as well !!!! This place put me through hell trying to find a family ! Worst place ever ! I'm so glad I did not continue to go through with them , I am very very happy about that . Of course they could care less about the birth mom they just want their MONEY !!!! They put me through such a Hassel for so long I kept wanting to find a family for my baby girl since she was a little under a year old and they were taking their sweet time it took over a year before they moved any further and that was depressing me even more I was also going through really really bad post partum depression at the time and they just could care less ! Alot of time I would try getting a hold of the lady that was working with me and she would never answer for weeks at a time and I wouldn't hear nothing for weeks even after leaving voicemails!!!! Anyways that's how It was for me . I just thought i would share my experiences! Maybe it won't be the same for the next person but it was horrible for me ! I'm going through a different agency and they found me a family within the first week ! I couldn't be any happier ! And exactly what that other person said with their comment , everyone on here is just happy because they got their baby everyone could care less about the birth mother and the issues she may be enduring!!!

We have had the most amazing experience with American adoptions not once but TWICE!!! In 2016 we had the opportunity to work with Sara D. and the American adoption team after being connected with them to do our home study! Sara made the entire process so smooth and everything was flawless from beginning to end !! They set us up with the most amazing social worker again a wonderful experience!! In 2018 we connected with Sara in January, to reach out and start the adoption process again. Much to our surprise we got a call from our birth mom of our son to let us know she was expecting again !! Without any hesitation American adoptions got on the ball to help us get everything moving very quickly six weeks later we were blessed with twins and we couldn’t of gotten through the entire process without Sara and her team again !! Just recently we had the chance to take all the kids into the office to meet everyone and it was such a wonderful experience they also host a picnic each year and it’s a wonderful chance to connect with other adoptive families !! Whenever people ask us who we should refer them to for adoption questions or homestudy needs we will always refer them to American adoptions!!!!

Notice how all these "good reviews" are from ADOPTIVE PARENTS!? Of course youd leave a good review, you got your baby. How bout a review from a birth mom. If I could give them zero stars I would. They made a very hard and stressful process, even more so. I asked for NO PICTURES of baby throughout my entire pregnancy "no pictures, no pictures, no updates, no picture" period even in writing. 2 weeks later after baby was born and taken home, THE AGENCY SENT ME #$^&ING PICTURES. Didnt get finacial assistance until 3 months before baby was born and a month after. 4 months total out of 9, I receive financial help. If you are a potential birth mom reading this, run away from this agency. Fast!. If you are parents looking to adopt, do your research on this place on how they treat their birth mothers, if you have any respect for the potential woman giving you a baby, go elsewhere, or at least do extensive research on how they treat the birth mothers here. I promise there are more reviewers like mine. I was dumb enough to ignore them. Dont make my mistake.

We had an amazing experience with American Adoptions. Every single person we encountered (Mike, Emily, Laci, Sara, etc.) was incredibly responsive, helpful, organized, and caring. We had our first meeting with Mike in June and left their office feeling very hopeful--a welcome change coming off of multiple failed IVF procedures. We were active by mid-September, received our match call on October 17th, and came home with our perfect baby girl the second week of December. We are SO glad we chose to work with them and will do so again if we decide to adopt in the future!

There are not enough great things I can say about American Adoptions. They truly walk with you through the process from the beginning until the end. Adoption is a very complicated process, but their staff is very knowledgable and were there to answer all of our questions.
This was an amazing experience for us and we will be forever grateful to American Adoptions for helping us match with our son.
