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

Philippines
In the Philippines:
The lives of many Filipino children are negatively impacted by poverty, food insecurity, energy crises, and war. Bethany has a long history of uniting Filipino children with forever families in the United States. We have worked in the Philippines since 1986 to facilitate international adoptions through the ICAB (Inter-Country Adoption Board).
Our greatest need in the Philippines right now is to raise more funds in support of Caring Connection grants for children with special placement needs. Your gift can help bring a family together.




Sponsor a child or a family in need:
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.

The Philippines are situated amongst the South China Sea, Philippine Sea, Sulu Sea, Celebes Sea, and Luzon Straitthe. The landscape is tropical and beautiful, but has suffered severe consequences of much deforestation and resulting degradation of the natural ecosystem.

Global children's fund:
This fund is designed to provide a way to meet the most urgent global needs. For millions of orphans worldwide, extreme poverty and medical crisis are a life or death, and seemingly hopeless, situation. With your help, through the Global Children's Fund, we are able to meet many children's and families' most critical and urgent needs in a timely and relevant fashion. Together we can give a child hope for a future.
