Waiting Children in Bulgaria

In Bulgaria, children aged 18 months to 15 years are longing for forever families. Many have special medical needs, are older, or are part of sibling groups. Living in orphanages and foster homes, they face challenges like Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, and developmental delays. These children have endured trauma and loss, and their need for a loving, permanent family is urgent.

The Gladney Center for Adoption is committed to finding these children the caring, supportive homes they deserve by matching them with hopeful, well-equipped adoptive parents.
