Intercountry Adoption


Bethany ministers in fifteen countries around the world. In some countries, like China, Bethany staff work with their Chinese counterparts to help families with adoption. In other countries, like Kosovo, we serve by providing post-war trauma counseling to children and adults. Each country we serve has unique needs and opportunities, and we respond as their partners in service. Wherever we are, however we serve, we bless the children in Jesus' name.

Bethany's intercountry services reflect our belief that children grow best in families. Since 1982, Bethany staff have found permanent families in the United States for thousands of children living in orphanages in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

In addition, we offer a variety of in-country social services in eight developing and war-torn nations. Bethany is committed to expanding current programs and developing new ways to serve children and families worldwide.

We understand how important it is for you to select a professional, trustworthy adoption agency. For more than 60 years, Bethany Christian Services has helped build families through adoption. Since 1982, Bethany has brought the benefits of intercountry adoption to waiting families in the United States. Our caring, experienced staff members are ready to answer any questions you may have about the intercountry adoption process.
