The Gladney Center for Adoption

The Gladney Center for Adoption (a Texas-based non-profit adoption agency) reported to the Maine AG that it experienced an external system breach (hacking) on or about Feb 1, 2025, which it discovered nearly a year later on Jan 23, 2026. A total of 3,693 persons were affected nationwide, including 14 Maine residents. Written notifications were sent on Feb 3, 2026, offering 12 months of Kroll identity monitoring services, including Kroll Minor Identity Monitoring (suggesting minors were among those affected), Fraud Consultation, and Identity Theft Restoration. The Maine submission did not specify the data elements compromised; the redacted notice letter references potentially impacted files but text is largely redacted. Materially long delay between occurrence and discovery (~12 months).
