Give a child the opportunity for a family and a future.

Lithuania
In Lithuania:
Bethany has placed Lithuanian children in loving, adoptive homes since 2002. The majority of adopted children from Lithuania are older children or children with identified special needs. In 2008, Bethany received the “Pride of Lithuania Award” for matching many Lithuanian children with special needs to families in the United States.
Our greatest need in Lithuania currently is to raise more funds in support of Caring Connection grants for children with special placement needs. If you feel compelled to help the children of Lithuania, please designate your donation to Lithuania. Your gift can help bring a family together.




Sponsor a child in Eastern Europe: 
Can you extend a hand in love to a child or family in need?
Families and communities benefit in tangible ways from
sponsorship. Through Bethany, your money provides direct
and specific care based on the individual needs of a family.
When you sponsor through Bethany, you will join a group
of sponsoring individuals to provide the level of care that is
needed.
Ready to take the next steps towards adoption?
Each country Bethany works in has unique requirements and costs for adoption. We also work with in-country specialists who are ready to assist you in your adoption journey. To get started fill out our free preliminary application or learn more about international adoption.
