Bellis cannot host retreats for women whose children are parented by others without the support of our caring community.

To help us purchase supplies, please see our Amazon wish list. To make a direct donation, please visit our Give Lively site or mail a physical check to our new mailing address. We moved! See our new mailing address below.

When we listen with intention, we understand – without a doubt – that it’s beyond anyone’s ability or wisdom to put stories of adoption or foster care into neat categories to prove a point. We understand that to share these personal stories is very vulnerable and brave work.

At Bellis, we won’t deny their truths or tell them they just don’t understand what really happened to them. Would you?
