OUR ROOTS
After four years in the adoption field, Steffany Aye found herself choosing to leave her place of employment as the Child Placement Supervisor for a local adoption agency in order to finish her second master’s degree. (Steffany’s first master’s is in Family Life Education & Consultation and the second master’s is in Social Work). As Steffany was finishing her degree requirements, she began exploring the idea of starting an adoption agency, as she saw a need for good, ethical, and affordable adoption services, and Adoption & Beyond became a reality in the Summer of 1998.
Though the agency originated from a, one-person, home-based office, it eventually outgrew the house and was relocated to Overland Park, Kansas, near 435 and Metcalf. Steffany soon discovered that the agency needed still more space and it was again moved, to the current location at the corner of 162nd Street and Metcalf Avenue.
Adoption & Beyond is a non-profit child placing agency licensed in the states of Kansas and Missouri. It has a board of directors who oversees the operation of the agency, and it is run on a daily basis by its Founder and Director, Steffany Aye, along with the assistance of a wonderful team of adoption professionals.
