Who we serve in the U.S.
1 in 3 children
In 2017, 1 in 3 children were placed in foster care because their parents were using drugs and other substances.
4% of women
Only about 4% of women with unexpected pregnancies place their children through adoption.
400%
Children are losing parents to the opioid crisis at an alarming rate. Opioid-related deaths have skyrocketed by nearly 400% since 2000.
Strengthening families for vulnerable kids
The solution for vulnerable kids is strong families. Research shows the power of family in a child’s life. Family is the best place for a child’s physical, emotional, and spiritual development.
And that’s why Bethany works with urgency to keep families together. When that’s not possible, we find a supportive and loving home for kids who need them most.
Families make all the difference for children. They can be the love and support children need. That's why we're 100% committed to making families a force for good in our communities.
How we help
Driven by our goal to keep families together, Bethany leverages over 75 years of expertise, partnering with organizations and governments to provide services that care for families.
Pregnancy Support
For expectant parents facing a world of unknowns, we provide confidential support to help them find your best path forward.
Adoption
When expectant parents decide to place their child for adoption, we help them develop an adoption plan and identify their chosen adoptive parents.
Foster Care
Foster care provides a safe, loving home for vulnerable kids, while families work to get back on their feet.
Emergency Care
When a child's primary caretakers face a short-term crisis, Safe Families for Children provides a safe place for a child.
140 million reasons to help
Today, 140 million kids don't have a permanent home. To us, that's simply unacceptable.
Together, we can change the world through family.
