Reporter outlines benefits of state adoption over black market
Wichita Beacon reporter Mary Grice cites fees charged by private attorneys and agencies amid a state licensed system. She lists agency costs from nothing to 150 dollars at Catholic Social Service and up to 250 dollars at the Kansas Children's Service League, while noting the State Division of Child Welfare charges no fee. She argues adoptions through agencies ensure the child is placed in a suitable home and the couple is vetted for health, stability, and ability to provide.
