Family Fun Time!

Keira, who came home through Gladney's Asia Waiting Child Program last year, met her cousin Mikey for the first time this 4th of July - they instantly became fast friends! The cousins spent their time together celebrating the 4th with a family BBQ in New Jersey.

Waiting Child Webinar

Will you be joining us for our next Waiting Child Webinar that will be held this Wednesday, July 13th at 1pm EST?

Each month Gladney hosts an Asia Waiting Child Webinar. This informative webinar will focus on the process of adopting a waiting child from China. The webinar will provide an overview of Gladney's program as well as share photos of available children. You will get a detailed explanation of the Application and paperwork process involved with adopting internationally. Also, each month we will feature different children, with a variety of ages and special needs, who are available for adoption. At the end of each webinar we offer time for attendees to ask questions and will provide contact information for you to follow up with one of Gladney's Asia Program Staff.
