About Adoption Utah

Who We Are

Adoption Utah cuts through the confusion surrounding Utah's adoption system with stories and professional insights. We bring together birth parents, adoptees, adoptive families, and adoption professionals for conversations that educate, support, and connect our community. We explore every angle of the adoption experience. Our mission is to provide a platform where all voices in the adoption community can be heard, understood, and valued. We believe that sharing our stories creates healing, builds understanding, and helps others feel less alone in their adoption journey.

Mission Statement

We exist to amplify the diverse voices within Utah's adoption community through conversations and shared experiences. Our podcast serves as a bridge connecting birth parents, adoptees, adoptive families, and professionals who work in Utah adoption. We are committed to presenting all perspectives with respect, creating space for difficult topics alongside celebratory moments. We aim to educate the broader public about Utah's adoption realities while providing support and connections for those directly impacted by adoption in our state. We believe every story matters and deserves to be told.
