Kathy Kunkel - The Founder of Act of Love Adoptions Shares her Inspiring Story

Welcome to this week's episode of Act of Love Adoptions Podcast where we have the pleasure of talking with a remarkable woman who has made a significant impact on the adoption community!

Meet Kathy, a woman who has 2 biological and 8 adopted children. She created and opened an adoption agency over 30 years ago. Her agency has helped countless families and children find their forever homes.

Kathy's journey began when she and her husband decided to start a family. After having 2 biological kids she started to face infertility issues and felt that her family wasn't complete. They turned to adoption and welcomed their 3rd child into their home. This was just the beginning of Kathy's journey to motherhood, as she continued to adopt more children over the years, each with their own unique stories and needs.

After adopting her own children, one of her birth moms suggested that she should start her own adoption agency. Kathy realized that there were many more children in need of loving homes, and because no other agencies at the time were offering open adoptions, she decided to move forward and start her own adoption agency. With her experience as a mother and her passion for helping children, she created an agency that focuses on finding the best possible homes for children in need.

Over the past 30 years, Kathy's agency has helped thousands of children find their forever homes, and her dedication to improving the lives of children has been an inspiration to many. She has worked tirelessly to ensure that every child is placed in a safe, loving, and supportive environment, and her efforts have not gone unnoticed.

In this podcast episode, we'll learn more about Kathy's story, her experiences as an adoptive mother, and her journey to starting her own adoption agency. We'll hear about the challenges she faced, the successes she's had, and the impact she's made on the lives of so many children and families.

Join us as we delve into the inspiring story of Kathy and her incredible journey of love, hope, and family.
