DescFoster Care. Bethany Christian Services offices in eight different states provided foster care services to 2,346 children. These children need a loving family who will walk with them during a time of crisis and welcome them into a caring home. The goal of Bethanys Foster Care program is to provide temporary care for children with the ultimate aim of reuniting them with their biological family, or finding an adoptive family for those for whom reunificaiton is not an option. Toward that goal, we seek stable families who can show love to children who are going through a challenging time.Desc

X 2Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Organization and recognize a tax liability if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
