Families interested in adopting a child from the foster care system choose the agency with which they want to work. A variety of factors may influence that decision. These factors may include:
- the area of the state in which you live;
- the type of child whose needs you best meet;
- your interest in fostering; and
- your own personal preferences or past experience with an agency.
Adopt Kansas Kids can assist you in examining your options.
