There are two types of adoptions: open and closed. With an open adoption, the birth mother, and possibly the birth father, know something about the adoptive parents. They might even meet and exchange names or addresses. In a closed adoption, the birth mother and adoptive parents do not meet each other or know each others' names.

Federal and state laws that apply to adoption require certain steps to be followed prior to the finalization of an adoption. It is important to have a Kansas adoption lawyer to represent you in the adoption process. Our Kansas adoption lawyers are qualified in all areas of adoption law and can assist you in avoiding any adoption complications.

The following are some common adoption terms:

  • Adoption Agency
  • Open Adoption
  • Closed Adoption
  • Guardian Ad Litem
  • Foster Care
  • Adoptive Parents
