You may make an appointment to come into our office, schedule a time for an adoption counselor or advisor to come to you, or even set up a phone call or video call for your first meeting.

- There are three main types of adoption in Kansas.
- Open adoption: where you will have direct contact and personal information is shared between you and the adoptive parents.
- Semi-open adoption: where there is some contact, a mediator who will go back and forth between both parties.
