About Us

KVC Kansas' Adoption Team works to locate and support safe and nuturing permanent families for children in foster care who cannot safely return to their birth family. In the last decade, KVC has matched over 5,300 children and youth with loving forever homes. Recognizing that adoption is a life-long commitment, KVC strives to provide families with preparation resources, support and events during the adoption journey to facilitate successful adoptions. Our focus is on matching the best possible family for each unique child.
