He enjoys exploring outdoors, joining in activities with other children, and especially looks forward to playtime and mealtime. Franklin shows empathy toward others and engages easily with those around him.

If you’ve ever heard the saying, “If you’ve met one autistic person, you’ve met one autistic person,” you already know the first golden rule: autism is not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. It’s more like a giant, beautiful quilt—full of different colors, patterns, and textures—stitched together with individuality.

Being adopted has meant constantly living in- between. I am Chinese by blood, but despite my parents taking me to China and observing customs  
and traditions, I do not feel that these Chinese customs and traditions are my own. I feel like my face betrays the life I’ve actually lived. I’m American—but people still ask me where I’m “really” from. That question sticks like seaweed in my throat. I don’t honestly belong here or there.

Gladney's international trips are one way our team connects with children waiting for a forever family. During each trip, our program leaders reconnect with in-country partners and meet the children. This opportunity helps us nourish partnerships, collaborate with governments, and work together to improve any and all facets of the international adoption process that are in the best interests of the children. Every face-to-face connection helps us better understand each child, equipping us to advocate on their behalf when we return—bringing us one step closer to creating brighter futures through adoption.

At just 11 years old, Jean has already proven himself to be a boy full of resilience and determination. Growing up in [Thailand](https://adoptionsbygladney.com/i-want-to-adopt/international/thailand), Jean has faced challenges that might have held others back, but instead, they have revealed his strengths. By the time he reached school age, he had already begun learning sign language; he has mastered the US alphabet and is able to sign it correctly in any order given to him.
