Bethany in Southwest Michigan

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Refugee foster families step up to provide a home for unaccompanied minors who have often been separated from their families for years.

Refugee families are sometimes separated due to death, illness, or imprisonment. When family reunification is not possible, children are considered unaccompanied minors. For these children, the best option is to be cared for by a foster care family. 

Across the U.S., Bethany is welcoming Afghan refugees who have fled their country in the wake of the Taliban’s rise to power and the U.S. military’s withdrawal. We need your help.
