Celebrating Strong Partnerships: Upcoming Superkids Trip to Cathwel and Chung Yi

Posted by Beth Edwards on 10/9/25 3:30 PM

At Gladney, we are proud to work alongside exceptional organizations that share   
our commitment to finding loving, permanent families for children. Two such   
partners, Cathwel Service and Chung Yi Social Welfare Foundation, have been   
pillars of our international adoption work in Taiwan for 17 years, and their   
dedication has helped bring hope and stability to hundreds of children.  

Cathwel Service has been a trusted partner in 80 placements over nearly two   
decades. Their children’s home, Jonah House, welcomes children of all ages, and   
Cathwel facilitates adoptions not only for children living in Jonah House but also   
for those in other children’s homes, foster care, and even domestic adoptions   
within Taiwan. Our first Superkids visit to Cathwel in fall 2015 was memorable,   
though interrupted by a typhoon, allowing us to see just four children on our last   
morning in Taiwan. Since then, we’ve completed 10 in-person Superkids trips to   
Cathwel and stayed connected through several virtual visits during COVID.  

Similarly, Chung Yi Social Welfare Foundation has played a vital role in 113   
placements through Gladney. Their children’s home provides care for children of   
all ages, and they facilitate adoptions for children living in their home, other   
homes, foster care, and domestic adoptions within Taiwan. Like our first trip to   
Cathwel, our inaugural Superkids visit to Chung Yi in fall 2015 was cut short by the same typhoon, but it marked the beginning of a strong, enduring relationship.   
Over the years, we’ve conducted 10 in-person Superkids trips and numerous   
virtual visits to stay connected with the children and staff.  

These partnerships reflect more than just numbers—they represent lives   
transformed and families united. Through collaboration, compassion, and a   
shared vision, Cathwel and Chung Yi continue to be invaluable partners in our   
mission to ensure every child finds a forever home.
