Preliminary Eligibility

Building a family through adoption involves educational, social, emotional, spiritual, and legal processes.  Adoptive applicants need to be prepared to make a lasting commitment to the child who becomes a part of their family.  The agency and birth parents expect an adoptive couple to have good moral character; to be healthy, financially and emotionally secure; and to be able to provide the child with love, understanding, guidance, and companionship.

  • Applicants must reside in the State of Kansas.
  • Applicants must be legally married for a period of at least one year at the time of application for adoption.
  • ​Applicants must be 21 years of age at the time of application for adoption.
  • ​Applicants must provide a physician's statement showing good physical and emotional health.
  • Applicants must be affiliated with a church of choice; a reference from pastor will be required when the adoption home study begins.
  • Documented infertility or medical conditions that recommend against pregnancy are a prerequisite for the application for adoption.
  • Applicants must have sufficient income and assets to be able to support their family and care for a child.
