As a direct placement adoption agency, A Act of Love offers comprehensive services for both birthparents and prospective adoptive parents. As a direct placement adoption agency, A Act of Love offers comprehensive services for both birthparents and prospective adoptive parents. With more than two decades of experience facilitating adoptions, they work with birthparents and adoptive parents both in and out of the state of Utah. As one of the most reputable adoption agencies in the state of Utah, they focus on adhering to strong ethical and moral standards, putting good business practices at the center of their successful company’s foundation. They offer assistance in helping birthparents and prospective adoptive parents choose between open or closed adoptions. As an intermediate alternative, they also help with semi-open adoptions. Every type of adoption is different and they work with families to determine what level of openness is appropriate and mutually agreed upon. This may include phone calls, letters, pictures or even the option to refrain from any future contact. Their experienced, caring team offers privacy, combined with emotional, caring support before, during and after adoption placements. They also offer housing accommodations for birthmothers later in their pregnancies and offer medical assistance to ensure that babies remain healthy throughout pregnancy and during the birthing process. Additionally, birthmothers and adoptive families should be leery of adoption agencies that claim to cover all birthing expenses. It’s important to work with a reputable agency that provides comprehensive references, which allows those interested in pursuing adoption to know they are working with a knowledgeable adoption agency. Additionally, their team has experience with personal adoptions. Founders, Kathy and Dieter Kunkel, have adopted eight out of ten of their children and have dedicated their lives to providing non-profit 501(c)(3) adoption services to both birthparents and adoptive parents alike. The experienced social work team at A Act of Love can assist with home study programs, which are necessary for prospective adoptive parents. Birthparents coordinators specialize in working directly with birthmothers, helping offer financial and emotional support and friendship during this difficult decision making process. They are unlike other adoption agencies, which accept state and federal funding. In fact, they rely solely on donations and adoption fees to help provide the necessary services to match birthparents and prospective adoptive parents. Their multi-ethnic staff and management team
