It is hard to believe that we are already over 6 months into 2009 and Bethany Christian Services would like to give you an update on families who have used our services in order to obtain a home study to adopt a child or children from Russia.
On area we would like to update is regarding the need for amended home studies including the official diagnosis of the child required by the US Embassy in Moscow. We have completed several amended home studies and the process has gone smoothly up to this point.
Over the last 6 months, 28 children came home to their forever families:
16 children were older
5 sets of siblings
12 were under 5 years of age (9 of them were under 3 years of age)
Currently there are 3 families in Russia for court dates and there are 4 families who have made their first trip and have an official referral.
In addition to providing home studies for families desiring to adopt internationally, we have programs in several countries including Bulgaria, China, Colombia, Ethiopia, Haiti, Hong Kong, Philippines, South Korea, etc. In many of these countries we want to make you aware that currently we have close to 300 waiting children from various countries. These children may be school age or a sibling group. Some children have medical, physical, or developmental challenges ranging from minor to significant. We know that many children with similar needs are waiting in Russia. In some countries children with special needs have little or no value in their country of origin. They are children of God. It is His passion to have these precious children raised in loving families.
One of the advantages of accepting a waiting child is there is no referral wait time. You will be able to skip that step in your adoption process.
Some of the children have grants already attached to them. Some countries reduce their fees. There are also other financial opportunities for the waiting children.
Won't you consider a waiting child?
