An adoption bill that had already passed in the Kansas state House has now been endorsed by the Senate Judiciary Committee and will be sent to the full Senate for a vote. The bill amends adoption agency requirements.

"The bill says anybody advertising about dealing in adoptions must include whether they are licensed and if so, in what profession and who issued the license. The bill also says people can't promise a pregnant woman such things as child placement through adoption for using their services."

Though these kinds of issues have not been widespread in Kansas, they do occur. If the measure is passed, Kansas will join 17 other states that have similar laws.
