At just 9-years-old, Ari from Hong Kong has made a remarkable adjustment since her foster placement, thriving with the stability and support around her. She's a social, energetic girl who loves dancing, jumping rope, chatting with friends, and having fun. Chips, ice cream, and soft drinks are among her favorite treats (though ice cream and soft drinks are limited because they may aggravate her asthma). Fruits and vegetables? Let's just say they're still a work in progress! She enjoys art and PE, while Chinese, English, and math aren't quite as exciting to her.

Ari has a wonderful creative side. During a recent visit, she made a beaded bracelet all on her own, carefully choosing the colors and arranging the beads just the way she wanted. She also drew detailed portraits of the social workers, capturing their faces and even the patterns and colors of their clothing. And when it was time to share some of her favorite songs, Ari happily became the dance instructor, teaching the social workers her favorite moves and showing off her own impressive rhythm!

Ari has a $7000 grant available.

Getting to Know the Children Waiting in Vietnam

In Vietnam, families must complete an important step before learning more about the children waiting for families: their full adoption dossier must be registered in Vietnam. While we receive information about children who are waiting, additional details cannot be shared with prospective adoptive parents until this registration is complete. This means our advocacy process looks a little different than in other countries, but we still want to help families learn about the children who may be a part of their adoption journey!

Children currently waiting in Vietnam are toddlers to teens and have a variety of medical and developmental needs. These include developmental delays and cognitive impairment, hypotonia, complications related to prematurity, congenital CMV, hearing or vision impairments, congenital heart defects, neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy and seizures, HIV, and Down syndrome.

If you’re interested in learning more about the Vietnam program and whether it may be a good fit for your family, we encourage you to connect with our team!

Reach out to us at [email protected] to learn more about our Vietnam program.

Some moments deserve to be celebrated a little extra, and this is one of them!

For the first time, a family in Gladney’s Vietnam program has received a referral. And at the heart of this milestone is a precious 3-year-old little girl whose story is now becoming part of theirs.

One referral, one little girl, one very big reason to celebrate.

Join us in sending this family love and encouragement as their journey continues!

Last week, Gladney staff came together for a company-wide retreat at our main office in Texas, while much of our Gladney International Adoption Team gathered in Delaware. Some joined in person, while others participated remotely, creating opportunities to reconnect, share some laughs, exchange ideas, and get to know one another a little better outside the day-to-day work.

Why does that matter? Because adoption is a team effort. Every adoption journey involves many people working together, and the stronger our connections are with one another, the better we can communicate, collaborate, support families along the way, and continue to keep the children first and foremost in everything we do.

We’re grateful for the time together, the conversations, and the shared purpose that brings our team together, but we’re also excited to be back at our work for the children we love and families we are honored to serve at the center of it all.

Six-year-old Saylor from the Dominican Republic enjoys music and smiling. Music seems to spark something in Saylor, and it’s one small detail that helps us introduce this little boy and share more about the family we’re hoping to find for him. He can follow simple commands and can sit and stand with help. During one-on-one communication, Saylor does his best to pay attention.

Saylor’s therapies and stimulation activities have been adapted to his needs and have included speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and early stimulation. Continued early stimulation is recommended to support his psychomotor and language development.

Saylor would benefit from a family who is dedicated to continuing his stimulation activities and providing the support he needs for his development. A family committed to his care and able to provide unconditional love will be an important part of his continued growth.

If you'd like to learn more about Saylor, reach out to us at [email protected]. We can't wait to share more about him!

There’s nothing quite like welcoming a child home! After months (and sometimes years!) of paperwork, waiting, preparing, traveling, and navigating all the unexpected twists along the way, these families are finally home with their children. And that deserves a little celebration!

We’re so happy for these families as they begin this new chapter together. Of course, coming home is just the beginning of getting to know one another, building trust, finding your rhythm, and figuring out where everyone’s favorite snacks belong. 😉 There will be new routines, new discoveries, and plenty of moments that will become part of their family stories for years to come.

To these families: we’re cheering you on! We’re honored to have been part of your journey, and we can’t wait to see all the ordinary, wonderful, messy, meaningful moments that make your family yours.

Welcome home! We’re so glad you’re here.

Toby has an incredibly infectious smile and an extra chromosome. He is working on his gross motor and communication skills through occupational and speech and language therapies, and he continues to practice important everyday skills at his care center. He can set the table and fill glasses with water. He also enjoys social activities, and if there is one thing we know, it’s that Toby loves a good cuddle!

Toby communicates through gestures and facial expressions, and we hope his future family will have the joy of getting to know all the ways he shares himself with the world. Having Down syndrome means Toby has some extra supports to help him thrive, but it doesn’t define who he is or who he will become and we can already imagine the joy of seeing that incredible smile at home, day after day.

If you'd like to learn more about Toby, reach out to us at [email protected].
