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.

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.

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.

Bethany’s ADOPTS program addresses the impact of traumatic experiences on children prior to adoption. Our therapists nurture children and their parents with support, education and caring intervention to help each family member thrive—not just survive.

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.

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.
