Bethany in Holland

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

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 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.

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. 

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.

As a transitional foster parent, you’ll provide a safe and loving temporary home for a child until they can be reunited with a family member.

When parents are going through a temporary crisis, we find families to care for their children. This allows parents to take essential steps toward stability.

Through the Juvenile Community Justice program (JCJ), older children with a criminal history are offered community-based prevention and treatment services—preparing them for a stronger future.

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.
