Bethany in Philadelphia
Supporting kids and families in our community
Infant Adoption in the U.S.
When an expectant parent decides to pursue adoption, we
offer support as they seek adoptive parents for their child.
Pregnancy Support
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.
U.S. International Adoption
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.
Post Adoption Services
If you are an adoptive parent, adoptee, birthparent, or have legal custodianship or a formal kinship agreement, our staff is here to provide support through our post-adoption services. Working with SWAN, our services may be available at no cost for children 18 and under.
Foster Care in the U.S.
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.
Foster Care Adoption in the U.S.
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.
Safe Families for Children
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.
Trafficking Victim Assistance
Trafficking may seem like an issue that only exists elsewhere, but victims are often hidden in plain sight. And when they leave or escape, they need support from people in their community who care about their health and well-being.
Transitional Foster Care
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.
Refugee Foster Care
Refugee foster families step up to provide a home for
unaccompanied minors who have often been separated from their families for
years.
Family Counseling
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.
