Gladney Family Support Fund
The Gladney Family Support Fund was created to provide assistance to our families, reducing the costs and breaking down financial barriers associated with the adoption of children through one of Gladney’s adoption programs. Each family must meet the adoption program qualifications and those outlined below before the request for support may be submitted.
Family Qualifications:
- Families must be accepted into a Gladney adoption program and have a Gladney-approved Home Study at the time of scholarship application.
- Families with a financial need or extraordinary circumstances.
- Willing to consider a child with potential needs based on the background information of the expectant mother; or pursuing a child/ren with special needs.
- Ability to qualify for adoption with Gladney, meeting all State Licensing Minimum Standards, and foreign country requirements (if applicable).
- If a second adoption, must be in compliance with post placement/ post adoption agreement.
- Willing to seek additional financial aid from other sources.
Any scholarship(s) will be awarded as a credit against outstanding adoption fee balances after the home study process and Gladney approves the family.
After the award of a scholarship, the Adoptive Parents will need to provide a letter of thanks to the donor, sharing their story and how the funds will impact their journey toward parenting. This letter may be used by Gladney for marketing purposes and will be shared with your donor. There is no guarantee that a Gladney Family Support Fund Grant will be awarded, either due to lack of available grant funding or family eligibility.
