Bethany Christian Services

“Offering Licensed, Confidential & Caring Adoption Services Throughout Maryland For 30 Years”
“Called To Care, Committed To Children”
www.bethany.org/Maryland • www.impregnant.org/shayla

There can be many reasons why a birth mother may allow her infant to be adopted, but it is never an easy decision. A young woman may have enough emotional maturity to realize that she is statistically less likely to finish her education and more likely to live and raise her child in poverty. An older woman may realize that her lifestyle, emotional instability or financial situation may put the child at risk.

Under such circumstances, releasing a child to be adopted is the most loving gift that a birth mother can give. She needs support, advice and caring. Bethany Christian Services, a licensed agency located in Crofton at 2130 Priest Bridge Drive, Suite 9, phone (410) 721-2835, can help the birth mother determine what she wants for her child and to choose the family that will best provide the love, security and values that the child deserves. Call (410) 721-2835 to schedule an appointment or simply stop by to speak with one of their representatives. You may also visit them at www.bethany.org/Maryland to have a live chat with an advisor. They will assist the expectant mother with medical, housing and transportation needs in addition to personal counseling, reassurance and support every step of the way. Anywhere outside of Maryland, those in need of help are invited to visit the national site at www.bethany.org. For 65 years, they have helped birth mothers with heartfelt discussions.

Adoption is a decision you can feel good about, and when you call Bethany Christian Services, they are always available to help. Be sure to call them at (410) 721-2835, or visit www.bethany.org/Maryland, or e-mail them confidentially at bscrofton@bethany.org for more information. The caring staff at Bethany Christian Services thanks all clients for their referrals and looks forward to serving your family’s needs in the future.

STIHL Inc.

“Porsche Engineering Group Finds STIHL BR 600 More Fuel Efficient
Than Competitors” • www.stihlusa.com

A study conducted by the Porsche Engineering Group GmbH found that the STIHL BR 600 backpack blower is up to 28% more fuel efficient than competitive models, which can provide up to $644.00 in fuel savings per unit in two seasons, depending on fuel costs and run time. The STIHL BR 600 is also the cleanest running backpack blower in its class with 73% less emissions than current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements (based upon information reported as of December 8, 2008, on the EPA Web site).

The Porsche study tested backpack blowers at wide open throttle 85% of the time and at idle for the remaining 15%. All the units tested were the U.S. versions, the same as available in stores, and all units were set to their respective manufacturer specifications during testing.

The STIHL BR 600 led the competitors’ models in the Porsche study, ranking the highest in fuel efficiency. The STIHL BR 550, STIHL’s value-priced backpack blower, was also tested in the Porsche study and was found to be 16% more fuel efficient than the BR 600. In a separate comparison, based on specifications from each manufacturer and not associated with the Porsche study, the BR 600 also was ranked as the lightest weight model and the most powerful in air volume in its class.
