For the first time, Ecuador’s central adoption authority has    entrusted Gladney to bring a group of waiting children to the United States,    allowing them to experience life with loving American families. This milestone    marks an incredible moment in international child advocacy — and you can be a    part of it.   For 2–4 weeks this summer, children from Ecuador who are waiting for adoption    will travel to the U.S. to stay with carefully screened and qualified host families.    During their time here, the children will experience the warmth of family life,    participate in fun cultural and community activities, and form meaningful    connections that may change the course of their lives.   Hosting is a powerful way to make a tangible impact. For many children, this    experience becomes the bridge to finding their forever family — whether through    adoption or by opening new doors for advocacy. Gladney’s team will provide full    support and guidance every step of the way, ensuring that both children and    families are well-prepared and supported throughout the journey.   By welcoming a child into your home, you are not only offering love and stability    for a few weeks — you are helping to shape their future. Ecuador’s decision to    launch this historic partnership with Gladney speaks volumes about the trust    placed in our organization’s experience, compassion, and commitment to ethical    adoption practices.   We invite you to join us in making history. Step forward, open your home, and    become a host family for a child from Ecuador. Together, we can help these    children experience belonging, hope, and the joy of family.   [Read More](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/be-part-of-history-host-a-child-from-ecuador-this-summer) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/be-part-of-history-host-a-child-from-ecuador-this-summer#comments-listing) Topics: [International Adoption](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/international-adoption), [Hosting International Children](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/hosting-international-children), [Ecuador Adoption](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/ecuador-adoption) ## [Thailand Partnership](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/thailand-partnership) Posted by [Beth Edwards](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/author/beth-edwards) on 10/27/25, 2:56 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Building Partnerships, Creating Futures: Gladney’s Work in Thailand   At Gladney, we believe every child deserves a loving and caring family.

She loves reading picture books with the help of phonics, counting money when shopping, and takes pride in learning her 9s multiplication tables. But more than anything, Wren knows one very important thing about herself: she wants gentle parents. A Warm and Caring Spirit Wren has been diagnosed with [ADHD](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/understanding-adhd#gsc.tab=0) and Tourette’s Syndrome, and she’s working hard to navigate some really big feelings. She thrives when adults encourage her with praise and celebrate her accomplishments. Motivated by small rewards and her natural competitive spirit, Wren listens well when reminded to slow down. A calm, quiet environment helps her feel safe and grounded. Her big heart shines through in her love for helping younger children. With a strong sense of justice, Wren notices when someone is struggling and makes sure they get the support they need by finding an adult. The Simple Joys Wren’s favorite things are simple yet meaningful - strawberry-flavored treats, lending a hand around the house, and listening to soft music before bedtime. At night, she often talks quietly to herself as she drifts off to sleep, comforted by knowing an adult is nearby. The Right Family for Wren Wren will thrive with parents who are patient, understanding, and trauma-informed-parents who will honor her request for gentleness. She needs caregivers who can walk with her through the challenges of big emotions while cherishing the sweet moments, like when she gestures for a hug. 📩 If you think you might be Wren’s future parents, please contact us at [superkids@gladney.org](mailto:superkids@gladney.org) to review her full profile.
