Waiting Children in Taiwan

Gladney consistently finalizes about 30 percent of the total adoptions from Taiwan to the United States each year! For the past 15 years, we have been working with two government-licensed child welfare foundations in Taiwan to offer adoption opportunities to families desiring to adopt a toddler or school-aged child.

The children eligible for adoption for international adoption from Taiwan need a permanent family due to neglect, abuse, abandonment, or other breakdowns in their family system that prevent appropriate care. The youngest children placed for international adoption from Taiwan, both boys and girls, are typically in the age range of 3-5 years old. Many elementary and middle school-aged children are waiting to be matched with an adoptive family. Many, but not all, children eligible for adoption from Taiwan have identified health, socio-emotional, or learning issues.

Adopting from Taiwan

Hopeful adoptive parents looking to welcome a child from Taiwan are urgently needed, especially those open to adopting children with special needs, older children, or sibling groups. All adoptive parents must meet Taiwan’s criteria for adoption to be considered for a match. If you're unsure about your eligibility, contact an adoption specialist who can help determine the right fit for your family and answer your questions. Gladney’s Taiwan Team is here to guide you through every step of the process.

Taiwan Adoption Program

Since 2015, Gladney’s Superkids teams have made 10 trips to Taiwan to collaborate with our partners to meet children currently in need of adoption planning and perform developmental screenings. These in-person meetings allow Gladney to consider a child’s strengths, needs, and unique personality in matching a child with their adoptive parents.
