DescFoster Care. Bethany Christian Services offices in eight different states provided foster care services to 2,112 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
