You will find information that will make it easier for you to make perhaps the most important decision of your young life: "Whether or not to keep your baby". It is not an easy decision at best, but Bethany Christian Services is here to help you make a decision that you, and your baby, can live with.

Please read the information links listed below. The links are easy to use, simply click on the pages you wish to read.

If you have questions, please contact us. We're Bethany Christian Services of Northern California and we'd like to help.

Our Services
If you choose an adoption plan for your baby, we can help. We help birthparents develop a plan for the baby's future. We have professionally trained counselors who are knowledgeable about all aspects of adoption and who provide services with Christian compassion. Some of those services include:

• Making an initial assessment of each situation.
• Connecting birthparents with Bethany-screened and prepared Christian families.
• Helping birth and adoptive families work through the details of what kind of relationship they want to have over the years with each other.
• Assisting with the plans for the hospital experience.
• Assisting in the process of relinquishing parental rights.
• Providing support throughout the entire process.
• If no planning is done prior to the birth, Bethany offers temporary care for newborns through our private Interim Care families, so birthparents have more time to make permanent plans for the baby's future.
