Who We Are

Be The One was founded by Mary Beth Osowski after her and her husband’s second adoption.

“We have adopted both domestically and internationally and were blessed to have others financially and prayerfully support us."

"I felt God calling me to start an organization which would help others who are adopting by providing financial assistance.” 

The Board of Be The One consists of other parents who have also adopted from the U.S. and abroad.

 

Be The One Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization. All contributions are tax-deductible.
