We are so thankful for compassionate Gladney Friends like you, who believe in our mission of Creating Bright Futures through Adoption and want to help in tangible ways. A meaningful and personal way you can help is by writing notes of encouragement for our clients and caseworkers.

You can mail or hand deliver notes to our Fort Worth campus:
6300 John Ryan Drive
Fort Worth, Texas 76132

Before you get started, here are a few guidelines

• On your notes, please only sign your first name, not your last.
• Please leave the envelopes unsealed.
• Please keep in mind that we serve clients from a variety of faith backgrounds that may be different from yours and their reasons for choosing adoption cary as well.
• If you have children, please get them involved in making artwork and writing notes, too!

Ready to Write? Below are groups to choose from, along with a few template notes of encouragement to get your creative juices flowing.

1. Pre-teen and teen girls in foster care in the Gladney Home:

• Your voice and story matter. I believe in your future.
• You are thought of and cared about. I believe in you.

2. Couples in the process of adopting a child through Gladney (domestic infants, children from foster care, and children from international orphanages):

• You are perservering. What a story of love you will have to share with your child.
• Step by step and day by day, you are closer to meeting your child. What a day that will be.
• You are cared about and thought of today.

3. Gladney Caseworkers:

• Thank you for all the ways you care for your clients. You are making a difference.
• Thank you for the unpredictable hours you work, in order to support your clients whenever they need you. It means so much.
