The funds are to be used in aiding the further development of the primary exempt purpose of the Organization in connection with helping to assist children and their families with various social issues after payments of expenses to fund maintenance, repairs, renovations and additions to real property. Part X : FIN48 Footnote Effective January 1, 2009, generally accepted accounting principles require the organization to evaluate the level of uncertainty related to whether tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination. Any positions taken that do not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold must be quantified and recorded as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be classified as additional income taxes in the statement of income. The organization believes that none of the tax positions taken would materially impact the financial statements and no such liabilities have been recorded. false Golf Outing 498798 498798 177339 Dinner Auction 108188 108188 16947 1 43830 43830 3417 650816 650816 197703 197703 -197703 Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et Automn Lowe and Patrick Renner - Business Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The members of the Finance Committee review the Form 990 before it is filed.

Our basic philosophy includes: All Children Deserve A Permanent Home We Help Families Stay Together Children Need a Family For A LifetimeAdoption ServicesPathway Adoption Services include work toward finding and securing a family for children who are in need of a permanent home. Families interested in adoption can work with Pathway to find a special needs child to join their family through foster to adopt and waiting family options. Our adoption department works with the prospective adoptive family by preparing them emotionally for this lifelong process and completing the court paperwork for finalization through home visits and special training for the parents. Pathway takes referrals from the court for step-parent adoptions, as well. Post Adoption and Kinship ServicesThese services seek to address the ongoing needs of adoptive families after finalization and kinship families when relatives serve as parents for children. There are four basic programs included:1. Respite includes four hours to two weeks of care in a licensed foster home or one on one hourly time with a staff person. Adoptive and kinship families need support and relief to provide for the ongoing care of special needs children.2. Support groups for adoptive and kinship families include:a. Connected Family Group that provides therapy groups for children while their parents meet for support and education meeting biweekly during the school year.b. Adoptive Mothers Breakfast Group which meets monthly at a local restaurant for moms to benefit from the connections with those who understand and learn about resources and strategies unique to adoptive/kinship childrens needs.c. Adoptive Dads Group which meets monthly at Pathway office to help adoptive dads get the support and education for their unique position in their family.d. Grandparents Group which meets monthly in a downtown Canton church for support for grandparents raising their grandchildren.e. Adoptive and Kinship Parents Support Group which meets monthly in Minerva for support and education at a church in Minerva with food and childcare provided.3. Parallel Parent Program involves, in extreme cases, a therapeutic foster home placement for an adoptive child while adoptive parents keep custody, are involved in therapy, visitation plan and monthly team meetings to work on returning the child to the adoptive family successfully. 4. Mental health services are offered with specific sensitivity to adoptive families including individual, group and family counseling, case management including parenting coaching.Birth Family ServicesRespite and Parallel Parent services are offered to birth families in the community. Form 990, Part I, Organization's mission Pathway Caring for Children is a private, non-profit social service agency. Its mission is to empower children and families to realize their potential and achieve the possibilities of their lives through innovative mental health, foster care, and adoption services. Its vision is to provide compassionate care for children and families. The staff members, volunteers, and foster parents of Pathway seek to carry out seven basic ideals with the youth who come to us. Most important, we love and care for each youth individually. We recognize them as persons and teach them to respect themselves and others; provide them with the security of knowing that we are there for them; help them find the paths of success in school, work and social relationships; encourage them in the assumption of responsibility for themselves and their actions; and become personally involved with them in their struggle for meaning and purpose in life.
