Act of Love is more than just an adoption agency, it's an incredible family that we felt immediately welcomed to and supported by.

Act of Love is more than just an adoption agency, it's an incredible family that we felt immediately welcomed to and supported by as we embarked on our adoption journey. We also witnessed the same level of incredible care and support with our baby's magical birth parents, which was very important to us. Thank you!

    Verify with the Utah Office of Licensing at dlbc.utah.gov. Non-profit status adds a mission-first signal.

    A full-service agency provides counseling, legal counsel, medical coordination, and support as allowed by state law.

  4. 4
