Bellis is a Minnesota-based nonprofit organization that focuses on grief support for people whose children are parented by others, including scenarios such as adoption, foster care, termination of parental rights, and related circumstances. Established in 1983, the group emphasizes an apolitical, non-religious stance and positions itself as independent of child-placing agencies, child welfare systems, and courts, aiming to create space for open dialogue about ambiguous loss and complex grief. Its offerings include six weekly online peer-led grief support groups organized by gender, with a model that centers on empathy and shared storytelling, along with annual retreats for women that address topics like self-care, identity, and resilience. Additionally, Bellis conducts presentations to professional and community organizations to raise awareness and connect people to its services, and Minnesota participants can access free limited legal guidance through a partnership with a law school. A recent development includes a collaboration with VitalWay Digital to broaden its visibility, announced in late 2025.
