Change is coming!

We are very busy behind the scenes combining forces with the amazing staff of Gladney! From advocacy, to programs, to post-placement support and connection, our teams are coming together and integrating in order to best serve all of our client families. Over the coming weeks and months, you will see more communication with Gladney’s name, and less with Madison’s, as we slowly begin to phase out MAA’s online and social media presence. In addition, current clients will start to see MAA staff transition to Gladney email addresses and signatures. We are here to continue to support you and make this transition as seamless as possible. Rest assured that it is still the MAA team behind the new email signatures, just joined now by a new name and more adoption advocates to walk alongside you on your adoption journey.  

This monthly newsletter will also be moving over to Gladney’s platforms soon. We are excited to share even more with you through a new communication and know you will enjoy learning more, too. We will share more about that in the coming weeks.

Open Hearts for Orphans is an approved Movement Partner for Angel Studios upcoming film, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, and they need our help spreading the word!

Inspired by the powerful true story, this film follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in the foster system that nobody else would take. By doing the impossible–adopting 77 children–this East Texas community proved that, with real, determined love, the battle for America’s most vulnerable can be won. 

Open Hearts for Orphans has previewed Sound of Hope, and can say with 100% certainty that this movie is worth your time! Wherever you are located, purchasing tickets with their link not only supports their cause, but also encourages others to consider fostering or adoption! As a Movement Partner, OHFO will benefit through sales. Please help spread awareness by purchasing your tickets in advance - there's a pay-it-forward option, too! You can also use their code to set up your own private event or purchase tickets in bulk for a group!

Here's a peak at the trailer with a trauma-trigger warning.

Together, let's provide hope for vulnerable children by making this important movie #1 when it hits the box office on July 4!! We appreciate your support. Please pray it opens more hearts!
