Notice of the final adoption hearing must be provided to both natural parents, even if a natural parent has consented to the adoption, except as otherwise provided by Kansas statute.

B. Assessment, Investigation and Report

The assessment, investigation and report are not required by statute for step-parent adoptions, per K.S.A. 59-2132.
