Utah Adoption Council is a non-profit, all volunteer
organization of adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, agencies and
community groups supportive of adoption.
Our Mission
It is the mission of
the Utah Adoption Council to promote a positive
adoption experience for all involved.
History
The Utah Adoption Council was formed in 1981 by area adoption agencies
to help lighten the load of the foster care system by advocating positive,
permanent homes and families for foster children. The initial goals of the
Council were to educate the community about adoption and promote awareness and
understanding.
The Utah Adoption Council has expanded to include birth
parents, adoptive parents, adoptees, adoption agencies, adoption attorneys and
community support groups.
The Council is governed by an Executive
Committee with a representative birth parent,
adoptive parent, adoptee and
agency representative.
Currently there are three committees that conduct the
affairs of the council.
