To provide a method for fabricating a light-emitting device using flexible glass which is capable of withstanding a process temperature higher than or equal to 500° C., and the light-emitting device. A second substrate is attached to a support substrate using an adsorption layer. The second substrate is bonded to a backplane substrate provided with a transistor and a light-emitting element. The backplane substrate includes a separation layer and a buffer layer. A first substrate is separated from the backplane substrate by separation between the separation layer and the buffer layer. A flexible third substrate is bonded, using a second adhesive layer, to a surface of the buffer layer exposed by the separation. The support substrate is separated from the second substrate by separation between the second substrate and the adsorption layer.
