HI’ILANI FROM HAWAII:
A brand new mom

I am a native Hawaiian. I was born on the island of Oahu. I grew up with my parents, until they split up when I was nine. My parents separated and I moved to my grandparents with my dad, my sister, and my brother, after moving back and forth between locations and homes, with different family members. I struggled through school and eventually got mixed up with the wrong kids, and got involved with drugs and alcohol. My life was a “party.” I was out of control...

Together We Can!
Loneliness an emotion that so many women (men, too) spend a lifetime avoiding. No one likes to feel lonely.

To Schedule a “Family Dinner or Dessert ” call 503.667.8409. We can serve 2 to 4 guests at a time.

Anyone Hungry? You’re Invited to Dinner On Us!
There’s just nothing quite like having family-style dinner or dessert with the family, of course, in this case — our family. For this reason, Bethany House has started something new. It’s simply called “Family Dinner or Dessert.” This is a unique, highly personal opportunity for you, our supporters, and those of you who would like to learn more about Bethany House, to truly experience the family atmosphere of our program. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our girls (babies when available!) and the Bethany House staff to visit with both old and new friends committed to the purpose and vision of Bethany House. Yes, “Family Dinner or Dessert” makes for quite the crowded table. But, when family gets together, well, crowded is just part of the package.

         

We say goodbye to 'Betty Bubbles'
It seems like only a short time ago that Mergiyanesh moved into Bethany House, and like it was yesterday that Bethlehem (Betty Bubbles) was born. Once again, as we prepare for another little family to leave us, we are struck with the realization of just how quickly, time passes. While we will miss them both, we are happy to report that they are actually moving down the street to a sponsor family’s home, where we will be able to continue watching them grow, knowing they will be happy, safe, and close.
