From the Director
Branch Director: Paulette C. Holloway
Serving at Bethany has given me the opportunity to touch and be touched by the lives of so many.
Whatever my role, it is always one that makes me know that I have contributed to the value of life and not decreased its magnificent worth, whether I am . . .
Uniting an adoptive family with a waiting child
Giving a word of encouragement to a pregnant woman
Speaking to a group about the value of our services
Assisting with the reunification of a birth mother and her child
I have often been overwhelmed by all of the challenges that are associated with adoption and admittedly have entertained the thought to throw up my hands and walk away. I am humbled to say that God has always intervened during my moment of defeat and sent me some miracle that kept me going. I cannot tell you now which time his awesome power has been the most memorable because the experiences have been so rich. I can tell you that each experience has changed my life forever and has compelled me to stay in the race, giving my best to make a difference in the lives of children and families here in Maryland and around the world.
After thirteen years of serving God through the ministry of Bethany Christian Services of Maryland, through His help, I am still able to maintain my earliest feelings of commitment and excellence.
In that same spirit, I look forward to serving you.
Thank you as you join us in making this our best year ever!
Paulette C. Holloway, Branch Director
