Give a child to a child, become a foster family!
Every child in the world comes to be happy, loved and cared, but unfortunately, not all babies can. If, for some reason, Momma or Dad can't care about a child, one of us can come to help, becoming a foster family.
A foster family is a family who provides care to an orphan or a child who is left without parental care until the child can return to his or her family or, if this is not possible, is adopted or guardianship is established. To qualify for a foster family status should be between 25 and 60 years of age. Exceptionally, if it is in the interest of the child, a spouse (person) who does not comply with that age may be eligible for a foster family status. In such a case, a psychologist's opinion regarding the suitability of the spouses (person) for the performance of the duties of the foster family is mandatory.
A Orphan's Court may refer a child to a foster family if:
the parents of the child are dead;
the child is found;
the parents of the child have been deprived of custody rights by a court judgment;
parental rights of the child of the child;
the child is in danger to his or her health or life;
there has been a conflict between the child and the parents;
parents are long-suffering or imprisoned.
