Adoption aims to bring people together in meaningful ways. This week, the Gladney Center for Adoption is doing just that by hosting this year’s Adoption Rocks event in Fort Worth, Texas. Gladney is inviting families and friends of adoption to join in creating lasting memories as the perfect capstone to Adoption Day. This family-friendly event promises a night of live music, good food, and connection. Whether you’re an advocate for adoption, a member of the Gladney family, or simply looking for an enjoyable evening out with your loved ones, this event is a perfect way to celebrate the beauty of adoption and community.
What Is the Gladney Center for Adoption?
The Gladney Center for Adoption is a Fort Worth-based nonprofit organization that has been helping children and families for over 135 years. Their mission is to create loving, permanent families for children in need by providing adoption services, support for birth parents, and guidance for hopeful adoptive families. Whether through domestic infant adoption, international adoption, or foster care adoption, Gladney is dedicated to supporting the lifelong well-being of everyone involved in the adoption process.
But Gladney’s work goes beyond just matching children with loving families. They also provide post-adoption support, counseling for birth parents, and advocacy for adoptee rights. This approach makes Gladney a trusted name in the world of adoption, not only in Texas but nationwide.
What is Adoption Rocks?
Every year, Gladney hosts Adoption Rocks, an event that brings the community together for a night of celebration, entertainment, and family bonding. Taking place on October 25th from 5-8 pm at the Gladney Center’s beautiful Fort Worth campus at 6300 John Ryan Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76132, this year’s Adoption Rocks promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Adoption Rocks was created as a way to celebrate the joys of adoption while offering the local community a fun and laid-back evening of live music, food, and connection. It’s an opportunity to raise awareness about adoption, give thanks for the families formed through Gladney, and support the organization’s mission in an enjoyable and family-friendly environment. The event has grown into a much-anticipated annual celebration that brings together adoptive families, supporters, and those who believe in the power of adoption to change lives.
A Special Tradition: Adoption Day at Gladney
Each year, Adoption Rocks follows Adoption Day at Gladney, an event that holds special significance for families and children connected to the adoption process. Adoption Day at Gladney is a special occasion where families complete the finalization of their adoptions. For many families, this is a day filled with joy, big emotions, and a deep sense of gratitude for the support Gladney has provided in creating forever families.
After a day of meaningful adoption celebration, Adoption Rocks serves as the perfect follow-up—a fun and relaxed way to unwind and celebrate with music, food, and family-friendly activities. This combination of Adoption Day and Adoption Rocks helps the community reflect on the importance of family while enjoying a night of entertainment.
