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.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
