All You Need Is Love - Gladney Humanitarian Aid



We attended a Gladney Event at the Waldorf-Astoria to raise funds for humanitarian aid for orphans around the world. The entire evening was so touching - to see all these Gladney parents and supporters gathered together for such an important cause. Hugh Jackman was the Master of Ceremonies and we had performances by Kerry Butler and Pat Green.



Michael and I saw friends from our Gladney orientation and I ran into several folks from my Gladney retreat. There is such a special bond you have with others who are also adoptive parents! Without Gladney we would not have Daniel in our lives.



The night before the Gladney event, Michael and I went to Fabio Piccolo Fiore for dinner and had a lovely meal including songs from a friendly piano player. Then we went to see "In The Heights" on Broadway - excellent show that won a Tony.

About Me

We first heard about Gladney Center for Adoption in January of 2005 when we met with Pastor Stephen and Paula. In March of 2005 we attended an orientation at Gladney in Fort Worth, Texas. We adopted Daniel on September 12, 2007! Now we are waiting for a special child to complete our family.
