The Gladney Center for Adoption is a long-established, Hague-accredited adoption agency with more than 135 years of experience in creating bright futures for children and families. Gladney’s international adoption program offers families across the United States the opportunity to adopt children from around the world, with active programs in countries such as Bulgaria, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, India, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. The agency is deeply committed to ethical and transparent adoption practices that prioritize the best interests of each child. Gladney’s international program focuses on “waiting children”—those who are legally free for adoption but may be older, part of a sibling group, or have identified medical or developmental needs. Families who work with Gladney receive comprehensive support throughout every stage of the process, including pre-adoption education and training, home study and dossier preparation, coordination with foreign partners, travel guidance, and post-adoption services. With a dedicated team of professionals and strong relationships with child welfare authorities abroad, Gladney ensures that each adoption is handled with compassion, integrity, and excellence. Families who partner with Gladney become part of a lifelong community, supported well beyond placement as they help their children thrive in their new homes and embrace their cultural heritage.
Gladney’s Hosting Program gives families the opportunity to welcome a waiting child from an Asian or Latin American country into their home for a short stay. Hosting is a bridge that can open the door to permanent family connections for waiting children.
Unlike children in domestic foster care, international waiting children rarely meet U.S. families. Hosting creates that opportunity—time together face-to-face that builds understanding, trust, and can open doors to lifelong connections.
Families living in Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas are eligible to participate.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a child’s story.
