VOICES FROM OUR COMMUNITY

I couldn’t be more thrilled to share my story of adoption. It doesn’t have to be this negative, heavy thing. It can be an opportunity to inform and educate people.

EMMA Gladney Birth Mom

I am humbled by the opportunity to work with families in some of their most intimate/vulnerable moments and I am blessed to be a part of placing children in forever homes.

ASHLEY WHITESIDE VP of Domestic Adoption

I was 14 and my family decided that the best choice for me was to place my child through Gladney. My adoption is semi-open so I get to see pictures and letters.

MADDISON Gladney Birth Mom

Watching us be able to make a difference, watching them start to learn and believe that they are loved and cared for and precious… that’s my why.
