The SuperKids Adventure Program by the Gladney Center for Adoption is more than an opportunity for children to experience life in the US—it’s a program designed to create meaningful connections while ensuring a smooth, transparent adoption process. In Summer 2025, children from Colombia and Taiwan will join families across the US for an experience that’s both emotionally fulfilling and thoughtfully organized.

Families from Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah will experience firsthand the unique advantages of working with Gladney’s dedicated international team.

Why Gladney’s SuperKids Adventure Program Stands Out

Many of the children from Colombia and Taiwan participating in the SuperKids Adventure Program have been waiting in institutional or temporary care (similar to foster care) for 10+ years. What makes Gladney’s program different is how prepared and supported both the children and families are throughout this process.

1. Full Home Studies for Faster Turnaround
   Rather than a mini-home study, Gladney’s international team completes full home studies for participating families before the program begins. This means that if a family feels ready to move forward, much of the groundwork is already in place, making the international adoption process smoother and more efficient.
2. Transparency and Trust
   Gladney’s international team has access to the full files of every child in the program, offering complete transparency to participating families. You’ll enter the program with a clear understanding of the child’s true needs, ensuring the best possible match for both temporary stays and potential forever families.
3. Grants and Financial Support
   Families may qualify for grants with a completed dossier, easing the financial aspects of the adoption process and making it more accessible for those ready to grow their families.
4. Community Support and Connection
   Gladney’s international team has built strong community support in all participating states. Families from Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah benefit from local events, support networks, and opportunities to connect with other participating families. Whether you’re seeking advice or simply sharing the experience, you’ll have a supportive community by your side.

Who Are the Children?

The children in the SuperKids Adventure Program come from Colombia and Taiwan. They range from school-aged children to teens and may be individuals or part of sibling groups. All are eligible for international adoption and have minor medical needs or are medically healthy.

Many of these children have been waiting for a family for years. The program offers a chance to connect, learn, and potentially take the next step toward adoption.
