Families who are considering starting a new adoption for Guatemala need to be aware that as of April 1, 2008 a Guatemala adoption is not possible, because USCIS will not approve any I-800 petitions for a Guatemala adoption. Unfortunately it has come to our attention though that the National Benefits Center (NBC) will accept and potentially approve an I-800A petition. The NBC does not have the regulatory authority to reject the I-800A petition and therefore would process the case.

At this time families need to be aware that Guatemala is not open for new adoptions, but is completing adoptions that still fall under the "old regulations".

There are approximately 143 million orphans in the world today.
Many children are older, or a sibling group. Some children have medical, physical or developmental challenges.
We aren't asking you to help 143 million orphans, but you can make a difference by being a Bethany Prayer Warrior.

Prayer Warriors will receive pictures and information of children waiting through Bethany.

We ask that you pray for the children.
Pray for families who are willing to accept the children with special placement needs into their hearts and homes.
Pray for those who will never be adopted. May someone come into their life and love and care for them.
 
Each of us is part of the Body of Christ. It is He in us that is more than able to make a difference.

If you want to be added to the Prayer Warrior group and receive emails about waiting children, please send an email to:
jvandyke@bethany.org
