Welcome to Our New Home!

Bethany’s first Indiana office, whose doors opened in September of 1983, was comprised of a meager three-room area and two-member staff. In the 25 years since Bethany began offering intercountry adoption services, our agency has flourished into a full-service adoption and child welfare agency whose programs and contracts continue to expand as we serve the needs of children, young people, and families throughout the state of Indiana.

Such growth resulted in an immediate need for more office space in which to operate our ministry. In consultation with Bethany board members and a commercial real estate broker, we have identified a site in an attractive and convenient location that will enable us to provide sufficient office space for our 43 staff members and easy access for our clients.

Our new facilities are in an office complex called Cedar Greene, located near Binford Boulevard and 71st Street on the on the northeast side of Indianapolis. As of January 30, 2009, you may reach us at our new address:

Bethany Christian Services
7172 Graham Road
Indianapolis, IN 46250

Please feel free to drop by our new “home” and say hello!
