Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Since 1983, bellis has built innovative services and networks to support those whose lives have been impacted by adoption, including from foster care. We recognize adoption as a relational, not transactional, practice. It is unique in its mix of joy, emotional isolation, and ambiguous grief. Our approach offers emotional support to individuals, while advocating for a more compassionate understanding of adoption in broader society.

Bellis was founded in 1983, initially as the adoption committee inc., by a group of women in the minneapolis area to offer educational and housing support to mothers facing challenges related to stigma, family relationships, and health after placing a child for adoption. Since then, bellis has expanded its expertise and transformed its services to meet two overlooked needs within the adoption community: peer-based emotional support and public awareness about diverse adoption experiences. Bellis is one of the only few organizations in the united states to offer safe and shame-free environments for mothers navigating the complex emotions of adoption. Bellis is the only organization in the nation that serves mothers who have lost custody.

IRS990/MissionDesc0BELLIS WAS FOUNDED IN 1983, INITIALLY AS THE ADOPTION COMMITTEE INC., BY A GROUP OF WOMEN IN THE MINNEAPOLIS AREA TO OFFER EDUCATIONAL AND HOUSING SUPPORT TO MOTHERS FACING CHALLENGES RELATED TO STIGMA, FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, AND HEALTH AFTER PLACING A CHILD FOR ADOPTION. SINCE THEN, BELLIS HAS EXPANDED ITS EXPERTISE AND TRANSFORMED ITS SERVICES TO MEET TWO OVERLOOKED NEEDS WITHIN THE ADOPTION COMMUNITY: PEER-BASED EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT DIVERSE ADOPTION EXPERIENCES. BELLIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY FEW ORGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES TO OFFER SAFE AND SHAME-FREE ENVIRONMENTS FOR MOTHERS NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX EMOTIONS OF ADOPTION.
