Hopeland, an organization that finds better ways to keep children in families, and the Gladney Center for Adoption, which has been creating bright futures through adoption for more than 130 years, are excited to be partnering together to celebrate National Adoption Month. In this year of all years, we are faced with a crucial moment to highlight everyone who works to ensure every child has a safe, loving home.

Whether you are an expectant parent or potential adoptive parent, when you are looking for an adoption agency, you want to make sure that the adoption agency you are working with is ethical, compassionate, and is your advocate. Check out some reviews from birth parents, adopted persons, and adoptive parents that are currently working with us or have worked with us on their adoption journey.

Aden is a super sweet, almost-4-year-old little boy.  Aden has a gentle personality and enjoys playing with other kids. He is not afraid of strangers and is willing to actively interact with others. After watching how to correctly play on the jungle gym, Aden was able to do so, and especially enjoys playing on the slides! Aden is not a confrontational child, so if he gets bullied by other children, he seeks comfort and cuddling from his caregiver.

Meet adorable Abel. Abel just turned 4 years old and is already learning to ride a bike with training wheels! Abel is described as having a gentle personality, and rarely throws tantrums. He obeys the rules of his foster home and is highly cooperative. When he is exploring an unfamiliar environment, he will first observe the safety and surroundings near him. How cute!

Abel asks for hugs and shows his affection towards his caregivers, and enjoys playing with his 6-month-old foster brother. Abel can feed himself with a spoon and will fall asleep without companions. He is currently getting potty trained and learning to expresses his needs when he wants to use the bathroom. Abel especially likes to play with toy cars and balls, and it seems he has a talent for music. His sense of tempo is quite good!
