Putting up a baby for adoption in Kansas City

Kansas City, MO World War I Museum Thinking of giving your baby up for adoption?

If you are considering adoption for your baby, we are here to support and assist you as you explore your options. We try not to use terms like “put up” or “give up” because those words have nothing to do with how we feel about the courageous choice of adoptive placement. However, these are also the most frequently used search terms for researching adoption and we want this information to reach everyone who needs it.

This page provides you with local resources and information about Pregnancy Resource Centers, Pregnancy Clinics/Family Planning providers, and hospitals in Kansas City or around Jackson County that have birthing centers.

We have additional information and resources for all of Missouri on our Missouri State Page.
