By allowing Gladney to help you through the adoption process, you become a member of our extended family. Through Gladney, lifelong services are available to birth parents, adoptive parents and adopted children.
For Gladney birth parents, we offer the following specialized services:
- Updates on your child's development.
- Access to a monthly birth parent support group at the Fort Worth campus.
- Access to caring, confidential counseling services.
- Permanent maintenance of adoption records.
- A mutual-consent, voluntary registry (after age 18).
The Voluntary Registry
In 1984, the state of Texas approved the institution of a Voluntary Registry. That same year, the Gladney Center for Adoption established its own Voluntary Registry. The Registry provides the means for birth parents and adopted children (18 or older) to meet when there is mutual consent.
The Sibling Registry
Gladney also maintains a sibling registry. This registry provides a means for full or half siblings to meet when they are 18 or older and there is mutual consent.
