Parent Quote

We traveled to Ryazan City, Russia, in March 2003 to meet "Irina". We fell in love with her spunky personality and we knew she would be a special part of our family! We traveled back to Russia in May of that year to finalize the adoption. We returned to DFW where many family and friends celebrated her arrival. It was a great day!

From the Graduate

Being a Gladney kid has been a positive part of my story. My brother and several of my friends were also adopted internationally through Gladney. We had fun going to Gladney events when I was a kid and I always knew that it was a special part of my life to have been adopted by my family and to be loved by them!
