In March, 1994, the Gladney Center for Adoption's first internationally adopted child came home to the United States from Shanghai, China. Since that time, Gladney has placed nearly 1000 healthy infants and toddlers, and children of all ages with special needs, with families living in the United States. Over the past several years, adoption from China has emerged as an effective way to make or grow a family.

Lily Visits Her Hometown!!
This is an article Lily wrote about her trip to Changsha, Hunan Province, in July 2005.
Orphanage Donation
Hi, my name is Lily and I am nine years old. I went to China this past summer with my Mom, uncle, aunt and cousins. I went to my hometown, Changsha in Hunan Province. In Changsha, we visited my orphanage. Well, it was the new one, because my real orphanage was torn down. We went to the orphanage and I saw these cute little babies waiting for a home. We saw a baby who was going to be adopted on Monday. We were so lucky we got to see the babies. After we saw the babies we went into a meeting room. I had a gift for them. It was $100 which equals $800 in yen. I feel so proud of myself for doing that good deed!
