The right to become a foster care provider: how to draw up a contract

A foster family is a family in which a child is transferred to foster care on the basis of a special agreement concluded between a foster caregiver and. This agreement is concluded under certain circumstances and guarantees the observance of the rights and legitimate interests of the child, as well as the family that has assumed such responsibility.

When concluding such an agreement, some important points must be taken into account. In particular, only the current legislation can determine which children will be transferred to foster care, as well as which documents are required to conclude a contract. Let's consider all the nuances that arise during the paperwork for foster care.

There is a whole list of requirements that must be taken into account when transferring a minor to foster care in a family. First of all, under the patronage agreement, the transfer of children is allowed:

  • orphans;
  • whose parents are unknown;
  • whose parents are limited in parental rights;
  • if their parents are deprived of parental rights;
  • whose parents suffer from serious illnesses and cannot properly raise and support the child;
  • who have incapacitated parents or are officially considered dead (missing);
  • whose parents are held in places of detention and are accused or suspected of committing a crime;
  • whose parents are held in specialized medical institutions and cannot provide the upbringing and maintenance of the child;
  • other children who officially need state protection.

The transfer of a child to a foster family takes place exclusively in his interests and taking into account his opinion. If the child is already 10 years old, then the decision to transfer to the family should only be made.

If children are in a family relationship, then they cannot be transferred to different families and generally separated, except when this is contraindicated for medical reasons or other reasons. The total number of children that can be placed in foster care is three. The exception is situations when it comes to transferring to a family of brothers or sisters.
