What our patrons say, about our Camps

A must attend event for anyone adopting a child. FoJ not only guides you on the process, but prepares you emotionally for the journey. The interaction with other families in adoption was very reassuring.

Parent-in-adoption, Mumbai

We received unique advice on managing our CARA preferences, subsequent to which our wait time reduced by several months. We realized that we were stuck with preferences where no children were available.

Adoptive Mother, Bangalore

Being a single parent, I was skeptic and defensive in discussing about adoption with my family. I now feel much more confident and comfortable with my choices. FoJ has made me more empowered and at peace.

A single parent, Gurugram

FoJ Counsellors didn’t just offer advice, they presented data to back up their perspective and insights, that is hard to obtain even from CARA. Their analysis, empathy and passion is simply outstanding.
