MGM paid Edna Gladney $5,000 for rights to her story which they then turned into the movie “Blossoms in the Dust”. She donated the money to the Texas Children's Home and Aid Society to help reduce the agency's debt.  Each year generous supporters like you join us for the exciting annual North Texas Giving Day—this year it will be September 14, 2017 from 6 a.m. to midnight.   Your generous support makes a meaningful difference. 2. Because of her tenacity, Mrs. Gladney was known as "that Gladney woman" to members of the Texas Legislature. Being an #AdoptionAdvocate is still an integral part of Gladney. 3. The Houston Auxiliary was the first support group of Gladney volunteers to formally organize. Today, Gladney has an entire development department and Gladney Family Associations that organize fundraising events for Gladney year-round. Check out some of their [latest events](http://iamgladney.org/). 4. Texas Christian University, in Fort Worth, granted Mrs. Gladney an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 1957. 5. In 2016, Gladney Adoptee, Alicia Taylor, rolled out Gladney Teen Outreach (GTO).  GTO provides a community for teens & tweens, adopted or not, to connect and inspire one another while having fun, fostering lifelong friendships and furthering Gladney’s Mission of Creating Bright Futures through Adoption. 6. Ralph Wheelwright, an MGM publicist, and his wife, adopted a baby girl from Mrs. Gladney in 1940. Inspired by Mrs. Gladney's devotion to the Texas Children's Home and Aid Society, he sketched out her life story and presented it to Louis Mayer, head of Hollywood's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio. Wheelwright was paid $10,000 for the project idea. 7. Former First Lady Barbara Bush, a Gladney grandparent, attended the agency's Centennial celebration in 1987 as a special guest. 8. Cookies4Kids was created in 2010 by Chef Eric Justice, former Director of Culinary Operations for Pei Wei Asian Diner, after he attended the Gladney Cup golf tournament. All proceeds from the decadent double chocolate chunk oatmeal cookies benefit the Gladney Center for Adoption's humanitarian aid efforts. 9. The first annual [Gladney Cup](http://gladneycup.com/) golf tournament was held at the Colonial in Fort Worth in 1999. In 2017, The Cup will experience The Country Club in Brookline, MA. We are thankful for all of the players and sponsors at the 2017 Gladney Cup. 10. Gladney began operating with an assumed name certificate as The Edna Gladney Center in 1987. And those are your Gladney adoption facts for September. Stay tuned for more!

This doesn’t mean that there aren’t younger children available for adoption from Taiwan – in fact, there are!  Children under the age of 5 are typically referred directly to families waiting in the program. There are both children with medical needs, as well as medically healthy children under the age of 5 who are referred to waiting families. We recently had a 10 month old little girl with minor needs referred to a family in our program [Read More](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/2017/09/05/adopting-from-taiwan-direct-referrals) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/2017/09/05/adopting-from-taiwan-direct-referrals#comments-listing) Topics: [Taiwan](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/taiwan), [Uncategorized](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/uncategorized) ## [One Less Orphan Ice Ball](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/2017/09/01/one-less-orphan-ice-ball) Posted by [Superkids Team](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/author/superkids-team) on 9/1/17, 11:37 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Last weekend a huge beautiful event took place in Dallas, Texas to benefit Gladney and children adopted through the Gladney Asia programs.
