Post adoption support
LIFELONG POST-ADOPTION SUPPORT
Every adoption is a lifelong journey. Our “Family for Life” promise means we are here to support you at every step of that journey.
At Gladney, our commitment to you doesn’t end when an adoption is finalized. Our Post-Adoption Services team provides comprehensive, professional support for all members of the Gladney family—adoptive parents, birth parents, and adult adoptees.
We offer extensive parent education, clinical support, and vital resources to enhance your life. Many of these services are provided at no cost and extend far beyond what is required by law or offered by most other agencies.
