Rwanda Adoption

Program Status:

Gladney is currently not accepting families in this program. The Ministry of Family and Gender Promotion in Rwanda is currently in the process of ratifying the Hague Convention and is currently not accepting new applications from prospective adoptive parents for inter-country adoption. We are excited about the commitment Rwanda has shown to ensuring the best interest of the child and to combat possible abduction, sale and trafficking in children by working to align their inter-country adoption process under the Hague Convention. It is unknown how long this process might take but as a Hague accredited agency, we look forward to continuing to work with the government of Rwanda to place children from Rwanda with U.S. citizens.

Infants, toddlers, and older children are available for adoption through this program. Families will make one trip to escort their child home to the United States.
