Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Adoption & Beyond is committed to finding nurturing, permanent families for children by functioning as a licensed non-profit child placing agency. Adoption & Beyond is built upon a respect for life and family development. These principles are the foundation of our various adoption services.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

TO PROVIDE education, support and quality services for people seeking to build their families through adoption and to assist in gathering and preparing the social background documents needed in the process.\n\nTO ASSIST women and men in looking at all life giving options for their child and by providing for their emotional needs as they prepare and participate in an adoption plan.\n\nTO SPONSOR workshops in order to educate the public regarding the positive aspects of adoption by presenting information on various adoption topics.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Adoption & Beyond, Inc. we established in 1998, so we have been around for many years serving families. We are a fully licensed non-profit child placement agency in the states of Kansas and Missouri. In addition, we have the prestigious accreditation of being Hague Accredited.

We became a fully licensed adoption agency in the states of Kansas and Missouri in 1998. We became Hague Accredited in 2012 and have successfully completed the 4 year re-accreditation process in 2016 and again in 2020. We have successfully worked with thousands of birth parents, adoptive families and their children. We have successfully networked with other ethical adoption providers and most recently developed our birth parent educational scholarship fund. Adoption & Beyond, Inc.'s commitment to ethical adoption practices and continued education and support of all individuals impacted by adoption is on going.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

LinkedIn profile

I have been a part of the adoption field since 1993 and found it to be very rewarding. I was introduced to the field of adoption in college while obtaining my first master’s degree in Family Life Education and Consultation. I had always had an interest in unplanned pregnancy and infertility, but it was not until this point that I began to see how it all fit together.\n\nWhile obtaining my second master’s degree in Social Work, I had the opportunity to so explore other Social Work fields. Although I thoroughly enjoyed learning about these other fields; I knew that my heart’s desire was to be involved in adoption. \n\nSince 1998, Adoption & Beyond has grown from a small, home-based agency to an agency with several workers covering two states. I am so thankful and blessed to have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of wonderful birth parents, adoptive families and their children. In addition, I am the proud mother of five children, one having joined our family through adoption.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
