Waiting Children in Ecuador

In Ecuador, children ages 6 and older are in need of forever families, though there are some younger children with more complex needs or who are part of a sibling group also eligible for adoption. These children face challenges that make their need for a loving, permanent family urgent.

Adopting from Ecuador

Hopeful adoptive parents looking to adopt a child from Ecuador are urgently needed, especially those open to adopting children with special needs, older children, or sibling groups. All adoptive parents must meet Ecuador’s criteria | New Window for adoption to be considered for a match. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, contact an adoption specialist who can help determine the right fit for your family and answer your questions. Gladney’s Ecuador Team is here to guide you through every step of the process.

Step 1: Check your program eligibility by submitting the Prospective Adoptive Parent Form | New Window
Step 2: Ready to move forward? Complete the Placement Application to officially begin | New Window
