The Gladney Center for Adoption's first Russia adoption occurred in the Spring of 1994. Since that time, our International Russian Adoption Program has accelerated to become one of our largest international adoption programs. We have placed over 550 Russia orphans in forever homes. Through the efforts of our Gladney team members in Russia, we are receiving a constant flow of infant, toddler, and school-aged referrals for placement.

Not only does adopting internationally assist families in achieving their dream of parenthood, but also fulfills the dream of children in orphanages and foster homes who await the love of a family. By building a family through Gladney's International Adoption Programs, you are offered the unique opportunity to select your child, rather than wait for a birth mother to select you.

As of December 14, 2007, the Gladney Center for Adoption received accreditation! This accreditation is continuous without an expiration date and does not require annual renewal. Click to see certificate.

Gladney staff is committed to assisting families interested in adopting from Russia.
