The Gladney Center for Adoption is proud to continue our leadership in Adoption Training Services by providing a series of Hague-Compliant Video Training presentations. Gladney's Family Service Department's mission is to provide education, counseling, pre and post adoption education to Domestic and International Adoptive Parents in anticipation of the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption.

The new federal legislation regarding intercountry adoption has stipulated that all families must have ten (10) clock hours of training covering specific topics. Gladney has incorporated all Hague specific topics in the following trainings which are available on our website: (1) Institutionalized Child; (2) Grief and Loss; (3) Attachment; (4) Facilitating Behavior Change; (5) Country Specific Training. It is the responsibility of the family to complete the training and provide their agency with documentation of such.
