Gladney’s Taiwan program works with three child welfare institutions in Taiwan. Within these programs, birth parents are typically involved in the adoption process. Birth parent involvement is limited and all adoptive family information shared is non-identifying. Continued communication after placement, between the birth parent and adoptive family, is coordinated between the child welfare institution and Gladney.
Referrals to the orphanages are made when a birth mother decides to relinquish her rights to the child or the child is referred by social service departments of the local county governments. Because of the varying referral sources, children are between 2 months and approximately 12 years. Healthy and special needs children are available, both male and female.
Because the children are placed in private orphanages or foster care, children receive individualized care.
