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 to adopt a child or children from Ukraine.
 
Over the last 6 months, 5 children came home to their forever families:
4 children were older
1 child was under 5 years of age
 
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 Ukraine, especially young children with down syndrome. 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?
