Gladney works with licensed child welfare agencies in Taiwan. With the support of these child welfare institutes, Gladney's Taiwan program is able to offer adoption opportunities to families desiring to adopt an infant, child with specail needs, or older healthy child!

Within the child welfare institutes with which Gladney works, birth parents are typically involved in the adoption matching process. All adoptive family information shared with birth parents is non-identifying. Continued communication after placement, between the birth parent and adoptive family, is coordinated between the child welfare institution and Gladney.

Children come into the care of an orphanage when a birth mother decides to relinquish her rights to a child or a child is referred by social service departments of the local county governments. Children are between 1 month and approximately 12 years at the time adoptive parents receive a referral. Healthy and special needs children are available, both male and female. Children receive individualized care because the children are placed in private orphanages or foster care.

Check back after April 5, 2010, for profiles of children in Gladney's Taiwan Special Needs Program. They will be posted on A Child to Love website. Gladney staff will guide your family in the adoption process from the start of your journey. To learn more about adopting from Taiwan, please request one of Gladney's free, comprehensive Adoption Information Packets. Make your request on-line or by calling 1-800-INT-ADOP.
