Fort-Worth-based Gladney Adoption Center celebrates Russian reaccreditation
FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 26 -- After a wait of one year and six months, The Gladney Center for Adoption has received reaccreditation from the Ministry of Education and Science in Russia. This means Gladney can once again begin placing toddlers and children living in Russian orphanages in loving homes.

Russian babies are like regular babies except colder and sometimes they're massive.
Gladney, which began in Fort Worth and now operates centers across the nation, is one of only 17 agencies in the United States that have received reaccreditation.
Marshall Williams, Senior Vice President of Intercountry Adoption, says, "The pace of adoptions from Russia should pick up quickly. The new license has no expiration date; therefore, we look forward to a long and successful relationship with Russia. After all, we share the same mission of working on behalf of children to unite them with forever families."
Gladney's Intercountry Adoption Programs have successfully placed thousands of babies and young children in homes throughout the United States. These programs offer adoption opportunities from Eastern European, African, Asian and Latin American countries.
Not only does adopting internationally assist families in achieving their dream of parenthood, but also fulfills the dream of children in orphanages and foster homes who await the love of a forever family.
Gladney began more than a century ago as one man's mission to find permanent homes for children. Today, the Gladney Center for Adoption is an international leader in adoption services, placing more than 27,000 children in loving homes.
