Bethany in Grand Rapids

We help thousands of expectant parents every year—of all ages and backgrounds—and empower them to make a plan. Only they can make the decision, but they don’t have to make it alone.

When an expectant parent decides to pursue adoption, we offer support as they seek adoptive parents for their child.

For foster families around the world opening their hearts and homes to children, we seek to provide ongoing support—every heartwarming and heartbreaking step of the way.

Our primary goal through our Center for Refugee Healing Torture and Trauma is to empower you to regain the physical, psychological, and social wholeness you deserve.

Imagine growing up without the stability of a permanent family. Unfortunately, that’s the reality for many children. That's why we do everything possible to ensure they have a stable, nurturing family.

During their first six months in the U.S., we provide refugee families with a vast array of support. Our goal is to provide a safe new community where refugees can thrive.

We partner with over 100 businesses in West Michigan who hire refugees within their first five years in the U.S. Our staff helps ensure their continual professional development. 

Our Transitional Living Center is a specialized residential program committed to helping refugee youth adjust to their new culture and achieve independence.

When we are unable to find a family to adopt a child in their country of origin, we prepare a willing and ready family in the United States to adopt the child. 

At Bethany, we believe healthy individuals and families are important for strong communities. When you request counseling, you’ll work one-on-one with a counselor to develop your plan for treatment.

As a transitional foster parent, you’ll provide a safe and loving temporary home for unaccompanied children seeking asylum in the U.S., until they can be reunited with a family member.

Whether you're an adoptee, birth parent, or adoptive parent, we're here for you - providing expert support built on decades of experience in the field of adoption. 

Young men who are sex offenders or who have demonstrated sexually aggressive or inappropriate behaviors are granted a safe and constructive home environment in our residential treatment program.
