Welcome to the National Capital Area Association! Our growing, dynamic membership reaches areas from the Tidewater of Virginia to the tip of Maryland. We hope that if you have not already done so, please join our Association as we share waiting for our babies, enjoying our children and tackling parenting issues together.

This year we will have several educational seminars on a variety of subjects that adoptive parents will find very informative. As a member you will receive invitations to all of these as well as any special event, holiday party or our annual family picnic. To join, please select the Join/Renew membership link above. Them membership area is a password protected site and you will have access to our membership directory, listing Gladney families in the area. The password protected site will soon feature a list of local resources such as doctors, dentists, schools, etc., that Gladney families in our area would recommend from a personal basis.

Our biggest undertaking this year is to hold the biennial Gladney Cup Tournament that will be held on May 2, 2005 at Congressional Country Club (www.gladneycup.com). This tournament is national in scope and not only raises more awareness about Gladney and adoption, it also raises several hundred thousand dollars in support of Gladney. We need many volunteers to staff the tournament on that Monday. It is also a great way to meet other Gladney families from all over the country, so if you are interested, please visit the Cup website for more information.
