“I was scared, being I was only 19 and on my second pregnancy. I sat for about two hours just thinking about what I should do. I talked to the father, and we both agreed on adoption. I called another adoption company first and then American Adoptions and I instantly fell in love with my adoption professional. She was so caring, and I felt I could trust her with anything.” 

Like many birth mothers in a similar situation, Patricia found American Adoptions and experienced a journey that not only found the perfect home for her child but also became an extremely rewarding decision by giving her chosen adoptive family a chance to add to their family.

Wichita Adoption Agencies [Find the Right Adoption Agency for You] 

When it comes to adoption agencies in Wichita, you have a lot of choices. 

In general, national adoption agencies like American Adoptions are able to offer a greater range of high-quality adoption services to both prospective birth and adoptive parents compared to smaller local agencies. When you work with American Adoptions, you don’t have to retain legal counsel or a home study professional separately; we can handle it for you in-house. 

Prospective birth mothers have a better chance at finding the perfect adoptive family because of our size and scope, as well as benefits such as 24/7 counseling services available before, during, and after the adoption, as well as scholarship opportunities after placement. Hopeful adoptive parents benefit from shorter adoption wait times and access to our Risk-Sharing program. These are just a few of our many services to take advantage of. 

And, because you live in Wichita, you don’t have to sacrifice any of the perks offered by a smaller local adoption agency when you work with us, either. With our national offices located just a short drive away in Overland Park, we can provide the same convenient, friendly services and local expertise as any other Wichita adoption agency. You can find us at:

7500 W. 110th St.

Foster Care Agencies in Wichita [Adoption Can Be a Better Alternative] 

There’s more than one way for hopeful parents to adopt. While American Adoptions is only able to complete private domestic infant adoptions, adopting an older child from the foster care system can be another amazing, rewarding way to build a family.

• Wichita Children’s Home

International Adoption Agencies in Wichita 

Aside from domestic infant and foster care adoption, some families look overseas. International adoption is not as common as it once was, and the process can be complicated and risky — making an experienced international adoption agency critical. 

American Adoptions is only able to complete private adoptions in the U.S. So, if you’d like to learn more about adopting internationally in Kansas, you should start by contacting the following agencies:

• Holt International (only offers home study services in Wichita)

• Catholic Diocese of Wichita (only offers home study services in Wichita) 

Wichita Adoption Attorneys [Finding the Right Adoption Attorney] 

Adoption is a complex legal process governed by many different laws and regulations. That makes a Wichita adoption attorney a vital professional in any adoption process. 

Throughout your adoption, your legal counsel will educate and guide you through steps like consent, adoption finalization, and the overall legal process of adoption in Wichita. As a full-service adoption agency, American Adoptions can coordinate your necessary legal counsel on your behalf. If you choose to work with our agency to complete your Wichita adoption, you will not need to retain an attorney separately. In fact, when you work with us, you’ll have access to some of the best adoption lawyers in Wichita and throughout the country — so, no matter where your adoption ends up taking place, our network of legal experts will be there to guide you.

Wichita Hospitals for Prenatal, Maternity Care and Delivery 

If you’re pregnant and creating an adoption plan, part of that process will be creating a hospital plan. Having a ready-to-go plan for prenatal care and delivery can help put your mind at ease and give you a nearby medical professional to turn to with any questions throughout your pregnancy — and our specialists will make sure you have that plan ready. 

As a part of your hospital plan, you will get to make all the important decisions about how you want your delivery to go — including the hospital you’d like to use when the big day comes. Your adoption specialist will always walk you through this decision and help you make a hospital plan you’re comfortable with. But if you want to start researching some of your options in the area, here are a few Wichita hospitals to take care of you during your pregnancy:

• Wesley Healthcare 
  550 N. Hillside, Wichita, KS 67214 
  316-962-2000 

• Via Christa Hospital St. Joseph 
  3600 E. Harry Street, Wichita, KS 67218 
  316-268-5000 

• Heartland Women’s Group 
  316-858-7100 

Wichita Judicial District Courts for Adoption Finalization 

The final step of any adoption process for hopeful adoptive parents is finalization. 

Kansas adoption law places adoption-related matters under the jurisdiction of local judicial district courts. If your adoption takes place in Kansas, Sedgwick County residents will finalize their adoption here. 

Your Wichita adoption attorney will manage most communications with the court; you’ll mostly just need to file some documents and show up for the finalization hearing, which is the final step of the Kansas adoption process.

Scott Mars, founder of American Adoptions, knows first-hand how rewarding and life-changing adoption can be. 

“My mom and dad were a couple who weren’t able to become a mom and dad without adoption. Of all people in this world, my mom and dad deserve to be parents. And without adoption, they would not have been able to share their love, share their life, and give someone the life that I had. 

“Because of adoption, my life was filled with love and opportunity.”
