From pride parades to custody battles: 9 fathers who chose their children over society's judgment

At just 27 years old, Aditya Tiwari made a decision that challenged many social norms. He walked into an orphanage and chose to adopt Avinash, a child with special needs whom many prospective parents had overlooked. The journey was not easy. As a single man, Aditya faced legal hurdles and endless questions. Yet he refused to give up. Today, he is much more than a father. He is Avinash’s biggest supporter, teammate, and companion. Together, they have overcome challenges, followed strict training routines, and even climbed Mount Everest, proving that love can achieve extraordinary things.
