Other Services

Orphan Care
There are 143 million orphans around the world. Learn how Bethany cares for orphans on five continents with a broad range of services.

Embryo Services
It is estimated that 400,000 human embryos are currently in cryopreservation in the United States. When the genetic parents decide that their family is complete and embryos are still available, they are faced with a dilemma: donating their embryos to research, thawing them and letting them die, or donating them to a couple who is unable to conceive. Many believe that embryo donation and adoption is the most life-honoring solution to this difficult choice.

Adoption Support
We know from our experience that adoption is a journey, an exciting and usually joyful one, as is any kind of parenting. We also know that there will be questions, some of which are very specific to adoption and some of which pertain to any parent or adoptee.

Infertility Ministry
One in five couples in the U.S. deals with some form of infertility. Bethany’s Stepping Stones ministry brings Christian hope and help to couples through its free, bimonthly newsletter, bookstore, web forums, and other resources.

Foster Care
Foster care is the temporary care of children who have been removed from their parents because they have been abused or neglected. It is a part of Bethany’s ministry because we believe that every child deserves a loving home. Bethany offers training and support for foster parents in many locations across the country.

Estate Planning
Nationwide, sixty percent of U.S. adults do not have a Will. Bethany’s office of planned giving has a free kit to help get you started with making an estate plan for your family.
