Adoption Center

It’s unknown exactly how many babies are abandoned each year in India, with some sources reporting up to 11 million children, but it is known that over 90% of them are girls. Babies are abandoned for many reasons: victims of rape or unmarried mothers fearing recrimination, inability to financially support a child, or simply not wanting another girl in the family.

Many babies are left at our centre, and our Childline team and volunteers also bring us babies found abandoned in public places. Sadly, sometimes they are found too late. Many of the infants who survive are very fragile and/or premature and require hospitalisation and intensive care. Fortunately, most survive and we start the process of searching for their family and if found, counsel them on the next steps.

Our adoption process finds loving families for those who remain unwanted and we are with them at each step, ensuring a safe and smooth transition into their new homes.

Since we opened our doors in 2004, we have successfully rescued and saved the lives of nearly 600 babies, adopting them under a government approved and accredited process.
