Kay A. Van Pelt

It has been my privilege to assist in the creation of families through adoption during my 29 years of law practice. My adoption practice includes private adoptions, step-parent adoptions, completion of international adoptions and working with agencies who are making an adoptive placement. I have extensive experience in handling the complexities of an interstate adoption, as well as Missouri procedures necessary to complete a secure adoption. I emphasize providing individual attention and service to my clients in their goal of expanding their families.

As a Fellow of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, I am able to participate in programs and attend meetings that expose me to some of the best family law attorneys in the nation. These experiences allow me to learn lessons and gain information that enhances my practice
