"We just wanted to say how much Bethany’s post adoption services have meant to our family. Over the past several months, our worker has become such a vital part of our 'team.' Parenting a child with a trauma background is never easy, but Bethany's staff stayed right alongside us and helped us navigate through our most trying times. Thank you."
"When we moved last year, we had difficulty finding post adoption services until we connected with Bethany. They helped connect us to a list of providers within days. What a great resource! I wish we had known about it sooner!"
