परिवार
Children need more than food, clothing and shelter. They need a home, a family, a place where they belong.
Parivaar means family. A children's home can keep a child safe, but it cannot be their family.
Find your part
Choose what fits you. Each one starts with a simple conversation, and we will take it from there.
Institutions and authorities
For CCIs, Specialised Adoption Agencies, child welfare offices and NGOs. We sit with your team, map how records and case follow-up work today, and agree a clear way forward under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act) and CARA guidelines that your staff keep going.
Families and caregivers
Adopting, fostering, or caring for a relative's child? We help you prepare before a child arrives, and we stay alongside you after they come home.
Social workers, counsellors and volunteers
Children who have known loss need skilled, steady care. We work with social workers, case managers and trauma counsellors. Volunteers go through thorough training and certification before they begin working with children.
Ready to adopt? Every adoption in India begins with registering as a prospective adoptive parent (PAP) with CARA. Questions? Call CARA on 1800-11-1311.

What we do
Usually not because no one cares, but because something is in the way: a story never written down, paperwork never finished, or a family not yet prepared. That is where we come in. We work alongside children's homes and the authorities to record each child's story, keep every case moving, and prepare children and families for life together. Decisions about each child always rest with the authorities.
We help preserve each child's story: family history, identity records, siblings and the people who matter to them, while keeping their care and wellbeing in view.
We help institutions put clear documentation in place, in line with the JJ Act, 2015 and CARA guidelines, and keep every case moving, so no child waits because a file went quiet.

For institutions and authorities
A blueprint for what is recorded at each stage of a child's journey under the JJ Act, 2015 and CARA guidelines, how cases are followed up, and how we work alongside your team.
The first record sets the foundation for every decision that follows.
Legal and medical reports that help each child be placed appropriately within the adoption process.
Each step from referral to a family is recorded with its date and order.
The record stays complete long after the child goes home.
Runs alongside every phase
An ongoing care record: case notes, follow-ups, behaviour, education, health, family updates and the search for family, kept up until the child's final outcome.
Who we are
We are Emily and Jonathan, a married couple and parents to three children. Our own family has grown through foster care and adoption, and caring for children who need a family has been at the center of our life together from the start. Path to Parivaar grew out of that.
We started it because we believe every child belongs in a family, and that the people already caring for children deserve support, not judgement. Our role is to come alongside them, bring focus, and help each child's path become clear.
Child care and family preparation
Emily looks at every step from the child's side: what a child needs to feel safe, how caregivers and families can be prepared, and how the move into a family can be made gently. She brings years of hands-on care as a foster parent and teacher.
Partnerships, strategy and development
Jonathan builds the relationships with government bodies and NGOs, shapes the strategy and documentation frameworks, and works to make sure the work can grow and last. He brings years of working alongside nonprofits around the world.
Myths and truths
Many families hold back from adoption because of something they have heard. Here are the three we hear most, and what we believe.
“Bloodline is everything. Only biological children carry forward family values.”
Values are passed on through upbringing: what a child sees, hears and learns at home.
“Adopted children will never love you like biological children.”
Love and attachment grow through consistent care and a sense of safety, not biology.
“Only couples who can't have children should adopt.”
Adoption is about giving a child a family. Many families adopt by choice, whether or not they have biological children.
Questions

We value adoption deeply; our own family has grown through it. What we hope for is the best outcome for each child. For many children that is adoption, and for others it is a safe return to their birth family or care with relatives. The decision always rests with the authorities. Our part is to make sure they have the full picture, and to advocate for each child's case to move forward without delay. Wondering about common worries? Read myths and truths about adoption.
