For more than 60 years, Bethany Christian Services has helped build families through adoption. Domestic infant adoption provides multiple services, including home studies and support -- prior to, during, and following the adoption process. By reaching out to a child who needs a home, adoptive families find their lives immeasurably enriched.


Beginning the Adoption Journey
To obtain an information packet and orientation dates, contact 616.224.7550 or contact us.

Financial Assistance Options
Bethany uses a sliding fee scale, basing each family’s payment on their financial circumstances. Grant monies are available for very specific situations, and Bethany staff members are proactive in assisting families to access available resources.

Support During and Following Adoptive Placement
Support groups are held on a monthly basis for approved and waiting families. A Bethany adoption staff member is assigned to each waiting family to provide individualized, as needed support throughout the process. That support continues to be available after placement, in addition to required supervisory visits.

Benefits of Adoption through Bethany Christian Services
  • Our staff members are experienced, highly trained professionals who work with open, semi-open, and confidential adoption plans. In the case of a private or independent adoption, we work with attorneys to legally complete the adoption plan.
  • Because Bethany has offices nationwide, birthparents have access to profiles of families outside their immediate area.
  • Services are provided in adherence with our mission statement, and the sliding fee scale makes adoption a possibility for many families.

Contact Information
Program hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Evening appointments are available upon request.
