The Bethany Family

We have the privilege of being a Bethany family for life.  Bethany Christian Services is the adoption agency we used with Cameron and it was a wonderful experience.  We would recommend the agency to anyone who is interested in adopting.  One of the things I love about Bethany is that once you are a Bethany family, you are always a Bethany family.  The support they offer to families and adoptees for life is something that we really like about them.  This is the second year we were invited to bring a table of friends and family for their Celebration night.  I mentioned it to Kristina one day a few weeks ago and she said she would be interested in coming down.  Marc was able to take a half a day, so they brought the family down for the night so they could come with us.  Our good friends and fellow adoptive family, the Gruen's (Baby Lauren's mom and dad), my mom and dad, and friends of Tim's and Brad's from FCA all joined us for the night.  It was an awesome night focusing on sustaining the lives of children in many different aspects.  We heard some great testimonies to some of the programs offered at Bethany.  We also heard the amazing adoption story of Andy Benes, former Cardinal pitcher, and his family.  All of the stories were meaningful and touched our hearts.  We are so thankful to be a part of such a wonderful organization!
