Olathe Adoption Home Study Providers

All hopeful adoptive families must be cleared through the home study process before they can adopt. This must be done with a Kansas-licensed home study provider. Home studies assess the readiness of the family for the unique experience of adoption, and they also make sure that the family is able to provide a child with a safe, stable, and loving home. It’s an important screening step.

American Adoptions is a licensed full-service adoption agency that provides efficient home study services for families throughout the entire state of Kansas. As a national domestic adoption agency with over 30 years of experience, American Adoptions ensures you do not face unnecessary delays while you receive the personal attention, support, and expertise you deserve.
