Bethany Christian Services to end international adoption

Описание: Bethany Christian Services announced an end to their international adoption program. It’s a big change for the organization that has placed 15,000 children into U.S. homes through the program in the past 37 years.

“That’s why we made the decision 14 months before the accreditation expired,” said Kristi Gleason, the vice president of global programs for Bethany Christian Services. “We didn’t want to tell parents a week or a month in advance, and say ‘sorry, we can’t service you.’ We feel very strongly we can serve the families we have in process.”

Gleason says there are about 200 families in that long, and often, expensive process of international adoption. The organization will work with these families to complete the process. It will also continue post-adoption services for families.
