Gladney has created several international adoption programs that provide adoptive families with opportunities to build their own adoption:
Hague Accreditation
The Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-Operation in Respect of Inter-country Adoption is an international agreement among countries, including the United States, that protects children adopted across national boundaries. It establishes protection for children, birth parents and adoptive parents while acknowledging the important role of international adoption as a means for orphan children to be raised in a permanent, safe, and loving family.
Gladney is a “Hague Accredited Agency”. What does this mean? This signifies that Gladney meets standards of best practices in the international adoption services we provide. As a Hague Accredited Agency, Gladney monitors and provides information to the US State Department and we present information on this website, marketing materials, new client communications, and/or upon request.
