Bethany believes every child deserves to be loved, connected, and safe. For more than 75 years, our faith has inspired us to stand for children close to home and around the world. Together, we can change the world through family.
Supporting kids and families in our community
Infant Adoption in the U.S.
Our goal is to help expectant parents, and the adoptive families they choose, to make the adoption plan that works best for them and the child they both love.
Pregnancy Support
We are here for you. The choices that you make will be life-changing and we are here to help support you. You are not alone.
U.S. International Adoption
Many children around the world are waiting for a forever family. Their early lives have included things like orphanages, abandonment, malnutrition, and even abuse—but they can thrive in a loving and nurturing home. Can you open your heart and home to one of these children?
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.
There is a growing need for families willing to
open their hearts and homes to children and teenagers who have been removed
from their families because of neglect or abuse. These children need a loving
family who will walk with them during a time of crisis and welcome them
unconditionally into a caring home.
Foster Care Adoption in the U.S.
Children in foster care have faced hardship and pain during their lives. When returning to their biological family is not an option, they need a safe place to call home, with a family to provide them with the love and care. There are more than 100,000 children in foster care who are available for adoption and they are waiting for a family like yours.
Mentoring an Adopted Child
Bethany offers community-based mentoring to children we serve in the adoption community. Mentors serve as positive role models, building self-esteem with the children they are paired with.
Refugee and Immigrant Resettlement
Connects refugee and immigrant families with churches and community resources to help them adjust to their new life in the U.S.
Safe Families for Children
A national movement of compassion that helps families and children in crisis. This network of volunteer Host Families help parents who need temporary care for their children as they face unmanageable or critical circumstances.
Trafficking Victim Assistance
Through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Department of Health & Human Services Office of Trafficking in Persons, we are able to provide comprehensive case management services to foreign-born victims of trafficking.
Educational Training Opportunities
Bethany Training Services provides educational opportunities on a wide-variety of topics in Central Pennsylvania. Topics include education for adoptive and foster care families, First Aid and CPR classes, social media awareness classes and trainings for mandated reporters.
