Gladney's Domestic Adoption Programs are committed to providing permanent and loving families for children born in the United States and who are entrusted to our care. Not many agencies can claim over 28,000 success stories, not to mention over 120 years of unparalleled service. The Gladney Center for Adoption is a recognized leader in adoption services. Gladney has earned this distinction through dedication to its mission of Creating Bright Futures Around the World.

Throughout its history, Gladney's leaders have recognized and embraced the changing needs of society and the changing landscape of adoption. As a result, Gladney is an agency with global reach and impact. Its reputation for flexible, comprehensive client services enables prospective adoptive families to fulfill their dream of parenthood through adoption.

We are proud to offer three very unique Domestic Adoption Programs:

• The Agency Directed Program places Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian and Native American infants and toddlers with loving adoptive families
• The ABC program places African-American and Bi-racial infants and toddlers with forever families
• Through the New Beginnings Program, Gladney actively recruits secure and loving families for children who are available for adoption through the Texas State foster care system, older children and toddlers available for direct placement from the birth families, as well as children born with special medical needs

We understand how difficult it is to find and select an agency or attorney that you can trust to guide you through the adoption process. For this reason, Gladney conducts orientation workshops for prospective adoptive parents where you can receive detailed and in-depth information on our overall philosophy and services, as well as our flexible adoption programs.

Couples who are interested in adopting through Gladney begin the process by requesting one of Gladney's free, comprehensive Adoption Information Packets. The next steps include:

• Completing an information sheet
• Attending an orientation
• Completing the application and Home Study process

Domestic Adoption is Gladney's fundamental heritage as for 120 years this organization has sought to improve the lives of children in this country. In this heritage we hope you will see not only our passion, but also an established legacy of service, professionalism and integrity.
