The East Texas Family Association helps adoptive families in a myriad of ways before, during and after adoption. Getting to know others who have shared the adoption experience can make the process easier. Whether it's getting a firsthand account of the adoption process or learning how to answer the "most feared" questions from your adopted child, we can help!

Our Association also educates the public about the merits of adoption and helps raise funds to sustain Gladney programs. In serving The Gladney Center, we've received much in return, including the close friends that we've made through the Association. Whether you opt to participate in fund raising, outreach or program support, we hope that you'll join us and help spread the good news about adoption.

The primary fund raiser of the Association is the sale of its patented "Triange of Love" jewelry-a touching symbol of adoption. A triangle and heart intertwined symbolize the birth family, the child, and the adoptive family joined together by love as equal partners in the adoption experience. More information and secure ordering with your credit card are now available on-line!
