Edna Gladney is dead, but the agency she founded is still doing good work. Thank you for slandering this good woman and her agency ... it gives me the opportunity to spread the news of the good work she did in her life and that is still going on. ..... Gladney placed over 10,000 babies with adoptive parents during her career and totally revolutionized adoption practices. She helped to grant adoptive children the same rights as “natural” children and gave orphaned children and many birth mothers a place to stay and a hospital where they could receive treatment. Gladney helped develop modern day adoption practices and removed the stigma of “illegitimacy” from birth records and from society. Gladney treated all of “her” children as if they were her own and continued correspondence with adopted children long after they had left her care. The Facebook page, "Where is Edna Going?", helps adopted children and adopting families connect with other adoptees and adopters by taking pictures with a cutout of Gladney with their new families. [10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edna_Gladney This is the guy who runs the agency now: ..... Frank R. Garrott was named Chief Operating Officer in 2007, taking over day-to-day operations. Before becoming COO, Garrott was on the Board of Directors of the Gladney Fund from 1997 to 2006. In 2008, Garrott was named President and CEO. [5] Like his predecessor, Garrott is a Gladney adoptive parent. After a career in business consulting and banking with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Citibank and Bank One, he decided to focus on Gladney. He serves on the Board of the Christian Mission for the United Nations Community and recently[ when?] joined the Board of Directors of the Joint Council on International Children's Services [6] and Children's Home Society of America. ............ Edna Gladney led two major initiatives resulting in significant changes to adoption practices. In 1936, she convinced the Texas legislature to remove the word "illegitimate" from birth certificates. Her efforts led Texas to issue second birth certificates in the names of adoptive parents. [ My wife and I are adoptive parents in TX and I can testify that the state DOES issue new birth certificates for adopted children. ] In 1951, she convinced the legislature to grant adopted children the same inheritance rights as biological children. She argued successfully that these children should be legally adopted rather than placed in long-term guardianship, as was the practice at the time. She became known within the Texas legislature as “that Gladney woman”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladney_Center_for_Adoption facebook.com facebook.com facebook.com
