With over 28,000 Texas children in foster care and millions of orphans around the world, the need for a program such as "A Child to Love" is profound. The objective of this campaign is to find permanent homes for children currently in the Texas Foster Care System as well as orphans around the world who are available for adoption.
There are millions of children living in orphanages around the globe. These children will likely never experience the love and nurturing that a forever family can provide. It is Gladney's hope that the annual "Bright Futures Camp" will increase awareness of the need for international adoption and help orphans around the world. The mission of the camp is to build positive awareness of international adoption and increase awareness of the many more children in orphanages needing permanent homes.
There are many other beautiful children who are longing to be part of a forever family.
"We are adoptive parents of Celanda who has been featured on your program. We would like to thank you and encourage you to keep on doing this [A Child to Love Program] for the children. We couldn't ask for a better match for us. Just wanted to let you know of the results of your video." -- Anne Mc, TN

By Karyn B. Purvis, David R. Cross, Wendy Lyons Sunshine. The adoption of a child is always a joyous moment in the life of a family. Some adoptions, though, present unique challenges. Welcoming these children into your family--and addressing their special needs--requires care, consideration, and compassion. Hear Dr. Purvis interviewed about her book.
