The Gladney Center for Adoption is honored to announce a remarkable   
opportunity — the very first International Hosting Program ever approved by the   
country of Ecuador. 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.
