Adoption Protection Act Resource Center
The Adoption Protection Act was originally introduced in Kansas in the form of HB 2687 and SB 401. After it ventured through various parliamentary paths, it was finally adopted by both chambers in the form of a compromise bill, HB 284.
There are many great resources available on this important effort, including testimony, editorials, and news items that make the case as to why it was so important Kansas adopted this legislation. We hope that this site will be a great resource for you, and we encourage you to share it with your friends.
