Utah Adoption Placements

Utah Adoption Placements

These are real placements. Real women in Utah who faced an unexpected pregnancy, asked hard questions, and made courageous decisions. Each profile below links to a real family’s story on the Heart to Heart website.

Adoption looks different for every woman. Some of these birth mothers were early in pregnancy when they called. Some were days from their due date. Some had already given birth. Some were students. Some were already parenting other children. What they have in common is that they chose Heart to Heart Adoptions — and that their story is real.

"The hardest part wasn't making the decision or even the placement day. It was three months later when everyone expected me to be 'over it.' I talked with Wendy a lot and some other birth mothers. Heart to Heart helped me understand that grief is normal and healing takes time."

"My girlfriend has a temper. She's pretty manic and has been in and out of jail. I knew she couldn't raise a baby without hurting it and I didn't think I could raise one without help. I didn't call, I went into Heart to Hearts office on my lunch break. That's a weird feeling. But the lady at the desk was nice and then they were so nice to Becca (name changed). We felt good about it. And I get Father's Day cards and other pictures and messages. I'm really proud of my child."

— Birth Father, Salt Lake County
