When vulnerable children need a family, Bethany responds. Family is the essential human care structure, and your gift will help provide vulnerable children the support, safety, and connection they deserve.

Being a foster parent is so much more than loving a child in your home. It’s also showing kindness to a family when they need it most. It’s giving a child a safe place to land during a hard, scary time when they’re away from home. And it’s showing compassion to a parent who is likely overwhelmed, scared, and without a lot of support. Being a foster parent is a unique calling, but we’re here to help.

Refugee and immigrant kids are fleeing difficult situations and need you. These children have traveled far for a new chance in life. As a foster parent, you can be a safe place to call home for a child caught up in circumstances beyond their control. We’ll provide the guidance and resources you need.

In the U.S., over 122,000 kids in foster care are waiting to be adopted. The need is especially urgent for teens and sibling groups. They’re very aware of the ticking clock and what could happen to them if they age out of foster care without a family—because it happens to 23,000 teens every year.

You can support our big vision: a world where every child is safe, loved, and connected through family. Each of us has a unique ability to contribute to transforming the lives of children and families in our neighborhoods and communities. Your gifts, talents, and time are valuable investments. There are countless ways you can help.
