What Is an Adoption Agency?
An adoption agency is an organization licensed to guide expectant parents and adoptive families through the adoption process — legally, emotionally, and practically. At A Act of Love, we offer private adoption services with care, clarity, and dignity.
We work closely with:
- Birth parents who are facing unplanned pregnancies and want to explore their options
- Hopeful adoptive families who dream of welcoming a child into their lives
At A Act of Love, being an adoption agency means more than guiding you through a process — it means living out our mission: to serve children and help build loving families who share the joy of living and loving together. Everyone in the process deserves to feel loved, and we’re honored to walk this journey with you.
We Grew Our Families with Adoption, Too
With over 30 years of experience and more than 2,500 successful adoptions, A Act of Love is one of the most trusted and respected licensed adoption agencies in Utah.
What makes us different is that adoption isn’t just our work — it’s our life. Our founder, Kathy Kunkel, adopted 8 of her 10 children. Our Chief Operating Officer, Isaac Thomas, has adopted 4 children of his own.
We understand the emotional, legal, and practical journey of adoption because we’ve walked it ourselves. We go the extra mile because we believe every person in this process deserves to be cared for like family.

How Our Adoption Agency Helps Birth Moms
We provide services for parents that are considering a placing a baby for adoption. We understand how important this decision is. For that reason, we work hand and hand with our birth parents from the beginning and after post-placement. Our services include:
Counseling & Support
You’re not alone. We offer confidential, compassionate support throughout your pregnancy and the adoption process. Whether you just have questions or need someone to talk to, we’re here to listen — judgment-free.
Financial Assistance
If you need help with pregnancy-related expenses, we may be able to assist depending on your state’s laws. Support can include things like medical costs, groceries, maternity clothes, utilities, and more.
Housing
If you’re considering relocation, we can help arrange safe, comfortable housing. If you prefer to stay in your current state, we can still assist in finding support close to home. We’ll help you explore all of your options.
Medical Help
Your health matters. We can assist with prenatal care, medical appointments, and transportation to ensure you and your baby are well taken care of throughout your pregnancy.
Legal Assistance
We’ll help connect you with experienced legal professionals to ensure everything is handled ethically and respectfully. Legal support may also include assistance with expenses, depending on your location.
Post Placement
Our care doesn’t end after placement. We’ll continue to be here for you with post-adoption counseling and support. We can also assist with communication between you and the adoptive family, if desired.
Adoption is An Act of Love
When you search for an adoption agency, you’re not just looking for a checklist. You’re looking for people who will listen, walk with you, and treat your story with the care it deserves.
At A Act of Love, we don’t just “do adoptions” — we serve people. Whether you’re placing a child or hoping to adopt, you’ll be met with respect, support, and real human connection.
Because this isn’t just paperwork. It’s your life — and we never forget that.
Adoption Agency Services for Adoptive Families
Many families have a strong desire to adopt a baby but the process can be complex. We understand the process and feelings. Our goal as an adoption agency is to make adoption easy and possible.
Personal Guidance
You’re not in this alone. You’ll be paired with a dedicated adoption coordinator who walks with you from start to finish — answering questions, encouragement, and helping with every detail.
Home Study Support
Whether you need help completing your Utah home study or connecting with a trusted provider in your state, we’ll guide you through it with clarity and compassion.
Profile & Matching Help
We’ll help you create a beautiful, honest family profile to share with expectant parents — and support you during the matching process with integrity and care.
Education & Preparation
We provide resources, education, and conversations to help you feel ready — emotionally, practically, and relationally — for parenting through adoption.
Post-Placement Support
Adoption doesn’t end at placement. We’ll walk with you afterward, offering emotional support, tools for bonding, and guidance on maintaining healthy open adoption relationships (if chosen).
Inclusive, Ethical Adoption
Whether you’re married, single, LGBTQ+, blended, or faith-led, you are welcome here. We lead with ethics, compassion, and a deep respect for every person in the adoption triad.

How Adoption Agencies Work
Adoption is a journey — and at A Act of Love, we’re here to walk every step of it with you. Here’s how adoption typically works through a licensed agency like ours:
- We listen first. We begin with conversation. Whether you’re pregnant or hoping to adopt, we take the time to understand your hopes, needs, and story — no pressure, just support.
- We make a plan together. If you’re an expectant parent, we’ll help you explore your options, choose a family (if you wish), and make a plan that honors your values. If you’re adopting, we’ll guide you through orientation, home study, and the matching process — with transparency and care.
- We support you at every step. From medical and legal help to emotional support and housing, we provide wraparound services to ensure you’re never navigating this alone.
- We ease the transition. When the time comes, you’ll decide how the placement unfolds. You might choose to say goodbye on your own, be present when the family meets the baby, or let your adoption coordinator handle it for you.
Whatever you need, we’re here to help you with compassion — honoring your plan, your heart, and your child.
