Foster and adoption licensing requirements All families interested in fostering or adopting in Kansas will need to complete an approval process that includes standard background checks, completion of a 10-week, 30-hour training course (TIPS-MAPP), and completion of a home assessment.

Revocation Period In Kansas, a signed consent to adoption by the birth parent is final upon signature. Kansas does not have a revocation period. In Kansas, the only way for a birth parent to revoke their consent is to prove that the consent was not freely or voluntarily given, a standard that is very difficult to meet.

Although Kansas law allows any person to be adopted, after the age of 14, the prospective adoptee must give their consent to the adoption. Kansas, like most other states, has adoption courts specifically designed to hear adoption proceedings and protect the best interests of the adoptee.

If the felony was non-violent and did not involve child or domestic abuse or neglect, the court and your social worker may approve you to adopt. All adults within an adoptive home are required to undergo criminal background and abuse checks, typically on both a state and federal level.
