This Hispanic Heritage Month, we encourage adoptive families to embrace the richness of Hispanic culture, particularly when adopting from countries like Colombia, Ecuador, and the Dominican Republic, where Gladney facilitates international adoptions, in addition to families adopting Hispanic children from the foster care system.

Meet Jeremiah

Posted by Mary Chapman on 10/1/24 9:30 AM

Jeremiah is a young child who finds great joy in the simple pleasures of childhood. He delights in playing with his toy cars and balls, rolling them across the floor and watching them zip and zoom. Jeremiah also loves to watch the adventures of the Paw Patrol pups, their heroic rescues and amusing antics capturing his attention whenever the show is on. On weekends, Jeremiah's foster parents take him and the other children to the local park, where he eagerly explores the playground equipment. The tall, twisting slide is a particular favorite, Jeremiah giggling with glee as he slides down its smooth surface. For unfamiliar structures at the park, Jeremiah first observes cautiously before mustering the courage to join in the fun. His natural curiosity and sociability allows him to seamlessly integrate with any groups of children he encounters.

The Importance of Educational Support for Waiting Children

Posted by Katie on 9/16/24 12:30 AM

Adopting a child with a trauma history often means navigating unique challenges, especially when it comes to education. For many waiting children, their schooling has been disrupted multiple times as they’ve moved between foster homes, school districts, and curriculums. This constant instability, coupled with the lack of a consistent advocate, often results in educational delays. As you welcome your child into your family, a new challenge lies ahead: building trust while ensuring they receive the academic support they need to succeed.
