You are worth hearing.
You are worth healing.

Compassionate support for people whose children are parented by others - no matter how that came to be.

People who seek support at Bellis come to us with a wide array of experiences. This includes adoption, foster care, termination of parental rights, transfer of custody, parental alienation, custody disputes, open child protection cases, and many other circumstances. At Bellis, we welcome everyone regardless of the circumstances surrounding their parenting status.

Bellis is a groundbreaking, national nonprofit whose mission is to improve the lives of those facing complex grief and ambiguous loss, with a focus on those whose children are parented by others, and to raise the standard of care for systems serving them.

How do we begin to express the depth of gratitude Bellis participants feel and relay it to you in a way that truly resonates?

The most honest way is to let you hear directly from them.

We’ve put together a short video so you can listen to participants share, in their own words, what Bellis support has meant in their lives. Their voices reflect something we see every day: when people are met with compassion, dignity, and understanding, healing becomes possible.

Your generosity makes this support possible. Because of donors like you, Bellis is able to offer consistent, judgment-free connection to people whose children are parented by others—often at the moments they need it most.

As you watch, we hope you’ll hear not only gratitude, but the impact of being heard.

If you feel moved to support Bellis today, your gift will help ensure these voices continue to be met with care, connection, and hope. Please donate online or mail a check to Bellis at 2038 Ford Parkway, PMB 457, Saint Paul MN 55116.
