Bethany Services is a adoption agency that is highly respected nationwide. In addition to adoption, they also are an advocate for foster care and foster care adoption. Through their Foster care program, they work with the state to place the most vulnerable children into loving homes.
We are excited to say that this quarter we will be working with spreading awareness of the major need for loving foster families. In addition, we have the opportunity to work on a very special project with Bethany Services that we are excited to announce in the coming weeks.
Did you know that nationwide, an average of 23,000 youth “age out” of the foster care system every year. Over half of these youth lack a high school diploma and within two years, 30 percent experience homelessness or incarceration. More than half of the young women will have children, who also enter the foster care system, and the cycle continues. We cannot allow this to continue.
