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

Russia
In Russia:
Since 1992, Bethany has worked with accredited agencies to assist in the adoption of nearly 700 Russian children into loving, forever families in the United States. In addition, Bethany has in the past implemented numerous child and family welfare projects, including family preservation, family reunification, pregnancy counseling, deinstitutionalization, foster care, and life skills training.
Our greatest need in Russia currently 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. If you feel compelled to help the children of Russia, please designate your donation to Russia.




Sponsor a child or a family 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.
About Russia:
The largest country in the world in terms of area, Russia is located in northern Asia, and is bordered by the Arctic and the North Pacific Oceans. While massive in size, Russia struggles with severe climates, poor access routes, and poor agricultural traits in much of its landscape.

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.
