Finding the Right Type of Adoptive Family for Your Baby

When you consider adoption, you aren't just looking for a family; you are looking for the right family. In Kansas, you have the freedom to choose from a diverse range of couples and individuals deeply committed to providing a beautiful life.

In fact, you can start viewing some of our waiting families today. 

Looking for someone to adopt your baby?

Every family at American Adoptions of Kansas has passed a comprehensive home study, ensuring they are safe and prepared. We are here to guide you as you find the perfect match among the many people looking to adopt in Kansas today.

Why Do People Choose to Adopt a Baby in Kansas?

Understanding "the why" can help you feel more connected to the families you see. For most families looking to adopt, this journey follows years of hoping and planning for a child.

  • Infertility: Many couples have spent years navigating medical treatments. Adoption is their joyful answer to years of waiting.
  • Secondary Infertility: Some families already have a biological child but cannot conceive again. They want to give their child a sibling.
  • LGBTQ+ Journeys: For many same-sex couples, adoption is the most meaningful way to become parents and provide unconditional love.

What Kinds of Families Are Waiting Right Now?

To help you find a match that aligns with your values, we categorize our waiting families so you can browse by lifestyle and structure.

Married Couples

Most of our married families looking to adopt in Kansas are in their 20s to 40s. They are often established in their careers, own their homes, and have strong support systems. Many have navigated infertility together, which has only strengthened their commitment to becoming parents.

LGBTQ+ Families

LGBTQ+ families looking to adopt are a vital part of the adoption community. Statistics show they are 7 to 10 times more likely than heterosexual couples to be raising an adopted child. These families offer supportive communities and a home built on a deliberate, loving choice.

Families with Children

You may also find families with children looking to adopt. These parents already have experience raising a child and feel ready to grow their family again. They are excited to give your baby a built-in support system of siblings to grow up with.

Culturally Diverse Families

We work with many multicultural households, including Hispanic, Latino, and Black families. In 2026, roughly 28% of all adoptions are transracial. We can help you find a family that shares your heritage or one dedicated to honoring your child's unique background.

Can I Choose the Type of Family I Want for My Baby?

Yes, 100%. You are in the driver's seat and get to decide exactly how to choose a family to adopt my baby based on what matters most to you.

When you browse our adoptive family profiles, you can filter by:

  • Location: Do you want them to live in Kansas or a different state?
  • Religion: Are you looking for a family with a specific faith or set of values?
  • Lifestyles: Do you want them to be outdoorsy, musical, or dedicated to travel?

You also get to choose the level of openness you want. Whether you want an open or semi-open adoption, we will find a family that matches your vision perfectly.
