Just like your family and friends and those supporting you along the way, we at Gladney are so proud of the person you have become. You are on the verge of great things and we are excited to have played a small role in your life. Since 1887, Gladney has been creating bright futures through adoption. That is what our mission states, and it is grounded in a belief that every child deserves a loving and caring family. When we think of bright futures, some of the words that come to our minds are hope, family, connection, love, care healing, and opportunity. Whether you were adopted domestically as an infant, from state foster care, or internationally, our hope is that you have had and continue to have the opportunity for a bright futures. As you enter the next stage of your life, please don't forget those that have been by your side along the way -- trust me, you will need them again! I wish you the very best and please don't hesitate to reach out if Gladney can ever be a resource to you. All My Best, ***Mark Melson*** ***President & Gladney Dad*** [Alex](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/alex-bright-futures-2019) [Alona](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/alona-bright-futures-2019) [Andrew](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/andrew-bright-futures-2019) [Anna](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/anna-bright-futures-2019) [Ben](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/ben-bright-futures-2019) [Brianna](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/brianna-bright-futures-2019-0) [Brianna](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/brianna-bright-futures-2019-0-0) [Brielle](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/brielle-bright-futures-2019) [Brittany](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/brittany-bright-futures-2019) [Carson](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/carson-bright-futures-2019) [Cate](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/cate-bright-futures-2019) [Catherine](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/catherine-bright-futures-2019) Cole [Connor](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/connor-bright-futures-2019) [Elizabeth](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/elizabeth-bright-futures-2019) [Emma Jo](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/emma-jo-bright-futures-2019) [Emma](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/emma-bright-futures-2019) [Eric](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/eric-bright-futures-2019) [Erin](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/erin-bright-futures-2019) [Evan](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/evan-bright-futures-2019) [Gage](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/gage-bright-futures-2019) [Garrett](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/garrett-bright-futures-2019) [Grace](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/grace-bright-futures-2019) [Hayley](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/hayley-bright-futures-2019) [Hudson](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/hudson-bright-futures-2019) [Jacob](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/jacob-bright-futures-2019) [Jack](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/jack-bright-futures-2019) [Julianne](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/julianne-bright-futures-2019) [Kaici](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/kaici-bright-futures-2019) [Katelyn](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/katelyn-bright-futures-2019) [Katy](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/katy-bright-futures-2019) [Kathryn](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/kathryn-bright-futures-2019) [Keeley](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/keeley-bright-futures-2019) [Leah Joy](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/leahjoy-bright-futures-2019) [Liam](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/liam-bright-futures-2019) [Marissa](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/marissa-bright-futures-2019) [Mary Katherine](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/marykatherine-bright-futures-2019) [McKenna](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/mckenna-bright-futures-2019) [Natalie](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/natalie-bright-futures-2019) [Nikolai](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/nikolai-bright-futures-2019) [Noelle Ru](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/noelleru-bright-futures-2019) [Phoebe](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/phoebe-bright-futures-2019) [Ramsay](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/ramsay-bright-futures-2019) [Riley](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/riley-bright-futures-2019) [Robert](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/robert-bright-futures-2019) [Sally](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/sally-bright-futures-2019) [Sarah](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/sarah1-bright-futures-2019) [Sarah](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/sarah2-bright-futures-2019) [Shannon](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/shannon-bright-futures-2019) [Sophie](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/sophie-bright-futures-2019) [Sydney](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/sydney-bright-futures-2019) [Tanner](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tanner-bright-futures-2019) [Tatyana](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tatyana-bright-futures-2019) [Trevor](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/trevor-bright-futures-2019) [Val](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/val-bright-futures-2019) [Zach](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/zach-bright-futures-2019) [Zoe](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/zoe-bright-futures-2019) ##### Other links -
