Your North Texas Giving Day donation will support Advocacy for Waiting Children & Adoptions from Foster Care.
How You Can Impact Children's Lives
By making a gift to Gladney for North Texas Giving Day, you can help end the wait for children in foster care, and together, we will impact their lives and our community as a whole. We will help children heal from their past traumas, bond with their new families, learn to trust and be loved, and just be kids. Rather than being focused on surviving, they will have the opportunity to thrive.
Who Gladney Is
Much has changed over the last 138 years, but the Gladney Center for Adoption’s mission has remained the same. We create bright futures through adoption. Based in Fort Worth, Texas—with regional offices in other parts of the state and country—we facilitate domestic infant, international, and Texas foster care adoptions, while also providing a group home and adoption advocacy for teen girls in foster care and post adoption counseling services for child and adult adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. Gladney is so much more than an adoption agency. We are a pioneer and leading voice for adoption advocacy. We extend our resources to offer international humanitarian aid, post adoption support, and ongoing education and public support in Texas, the United States, and abroad.
Who Gladney Serves
From supporting an expectant mother during an unplanned pregnancy to caring for teen girls in foster care and guiding prospective adoptive parents, our work touches the lives of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs.
Through our programs, we serve:
Scroll down for more information about Gladney, examples of needs for donations, and stories about futures made brighter through adoption.
Gladney’s mission of creating bright futures through adoption is based on a belief that every child deserves a loving and caring family, and every means every. Every child includes a healthy baby, a medically fragile infant, or a toddler being placed for adoption by their birth mother. Every child includes a child who has experienced loss, abuse, or neglect and is waiting in state foster care or an international orphanage. Every child needs a place to call home and people to call family … forever.
A donation of any amount will make a difference! Your gift, combined with donations from others, will have a cumulative impact on the lives of children waiting in foster care.
Here are a few examples:
$400 can help provide trauma-informed, pre-adoption training for one family adopting a child from foster care
$600 can help provide community outreach, advocacy, and adoptive parent recruitment for one child
$1,600 can help provide post adoption support and services for one family who adopted a child from foster care
$5,000 can help provide home study, adoption casework, matching, and placement preparation services for one family adopting a child from foster care
We believe every child deserves a loving and caring family. As part of this belief as an organization, we must make sure we are being culturally respectful and inclusive in our words, actions, and mindset. This includes creating a diverse environment and a culture of inclusion that represents and supports our clients both inside and outside of Gladney.
