Waiting Children in Thailand

In Thailand, children between the ages of 2 and 10 are waiting for their forever families. Gladney partners with two childcare organizations within Thailand: Thai Red Cross Children’s Home (TRC), a children's home located within a large hospital complex, and Pattaya Orphanage. The children receive excellent medical care but need a loving, permanent family to give them the individual love and attention they deserve. Many of these children may be medically healthy or have medical needs that have been treated, resolved, or well-managed. Some may have mild developmental delays in areas such as speech or motor skills. There are also waiting children with more moderate medical conditions.

Adopting from Thailand

Hopeful adoptive parents looking to welcome a child from Thailand are urgently needed, especially those open to adopting children with special needs, older children, or sibling groups. All adoptive parents must meet Thailand’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 Thailand Team is here to guide you through every step of the process.

Hopeful adoptive parents are required to complete a foreign dossier and complete pre-adoptive training as assigned by Gladney.

Thailand Adoption Program

Thailand is a stable and well-established adoption program. We receive a quota for the number of families’ applications that can be submitted each year for younger children with generally mild needs. Quota spots are assigned to families when they have a completed dossier ready for submission to Thailand.
