Gladney Center for Adoption

The people at Gladney are amazing. We struggled with infertility for many years and were terrified that we wouldn't be ""good enough"" or rich enough to adopt. After so much bad news, we really needed someone to give us hope. Gladney did just that. They never lied to us, were always honest about how long and sometimes hard the journey might be. But for the first time someone said to us, ""WHEN you have your baby..."" instead of ""IF you ever have a baby..."" Such a powerful thing that one little word. Gladney's staff from the initial paperwork help to the day we brought our beautiful son home 19 months later was caring, efficient, responsive, and honest. We are particularly thankful for Melissa and Amy, the caseworkers for us and our son's birthmother. We truly believe that without both of them working so hard together we would not have achieved our goal. We will forever be grateful for Gladney's help in helping us get to our miracle! more

Gladney is a wonderful adoption agency with an impressive history and track record. We adopted both of our children through Gladney. Both experiences were different but wonderful! We knew when we attended orientation that Gladney was the place for us. It was a perfect fit. Our case worker supported us as an adoptive family and was always there for us. We were encourage by the fact that Gladney offered our birth mothers and their families the counseling and support that they need. I highly recommend Gladney for anyone considering adoption. They will always have a special place in our hearts!\r more

Gladney is such an amazing organization! We debated about our adoption decision until we heard about Gladney and knew immediately it was the place for us. We have two beautiful daughters from Gladney and could not be happier with the process. For my husband and I, adopting from a place with a ""positive"" adoption story was important - and what we found in Gladney is unique. Birthmothers - and birth fathers - are appreciated and supported in such an amazing way we will have such positive stories to tell our girls. Gladney supports the adoptive parents in the process, of course, many agencies do that. But Gladney provides such great support for the birth mothers/fathers - with a beautiful live in dorm, pre and post adoption services that are without peer. My girls ""God bless"" their birthparents every night, but when they are older they will know that their birthparents have been and continue to be so cared for by Gladney. We are so lucky to be a part of the adoption triangle of love, and a part of the Gladney family. more

My husband and I adopted from The Gladney Center for Adoption when we decided to adopt a baby from Ethiopia. From our very first conversation with them we felt supported and were treated with kindness and understanding. They made our entire process easy and we were able to meet other Gladney Families through their large suppot networks of Galdney Family Associations. Our process was very smooth and we felt they were honest and open about forthcoming changes to adoptions in Ethiopia and the adoption process in general. We are now the parents of an almost 3 year old and would without a doubt use Gladney again. Not only does Gladney help build families they are supporters of orphans worldwide and help place children from the local Texas Foster Care into forever families. They have a home for birthmothers and support them throught their pregnancies as well as post pregnancy. They are without a doubt a true leader on how adoption can be done ""right"" and with that they take away the stree of all the ""negatives"" associated with adoption. more

Highly recommend the Gladney Center. They are here to help and listen. They helped me through my situation and helped me feel good about my decision. Everything they did is confidential and what mattered most to them was my feelings and for me to make the right choice! more

I came to Gladney with many false promises.. First of all they do not promote a LEGAL OPEN ADOPTION.. it is an "agreement of the heart" after placement. They also advertise that they pay all medical expenses NOT they only help you get medicaide. They say they cover Maternity clothes NOT. I was told I would have to pay my own dental bills and maternity bra. They are a self serving company and I can't wait to get out. more
