I Tihomir Nedyalkov. On 18 years I came in and the Youth Red Cross last fall, exactly tova time. Since then I have volunteered.

In the short term goal of the campaign is to raise awareness of people about foster care, and long - more people decide to become foster parents, because, although in recent years the number of foster families to grow, it is still too small for the number of children deprived of parental care.

Some of the people, which met during the campaign, were well informed about foster care. A majority, however, acknowledged, they do not know what is the difference between foster care and adoption. According to Mann shares Kato tazi, placing the issue in media attention, especially long work of specialists, such as those of the association "Samaritans", will help raise awareness of people.

I can not give a definite answer to this question. Perhaps the crisis in Bulgaria, And in the world now reflects the attitude of people. One of the seven basic principles of the Red Cross is a charity. This is one of the qualities, What distinguishes us, People, from all other living beings, to give a parent of a child usually, who has lost, expression is precisely this quality. So I sincerely hope the foster parenting to promote a more rapid pace, and after years, in a more relaxed economic environment, coming day, in which no children without family.

Framar: What is most important, that people should know about foster parenting?

Reception parenting can save children's lives con. The truth is, that the vast majority of children, spent his first years in an institution (Home for children for example, enabled deprived parental care), can not develop social par with their peers, Koichi Imathia family. Giving a child the meaning of the words „family“, „любов“, „love“, „security“ - A foster care.

Framar: Do foster parents have a preference for age and ETnoseand child?

Naturally, adoptive parents are entitled to their preferences. But specialists have the last Duma, which select appropriate child for foster care and foster care appropriate for each child in the foster care program. The process is two-sided.

Framar: What is the difference between voluntary and paid foster parenting? Which is preferred in Bulgaria?

Paid foster parenting is a profession. People, that foster parents receive such service and pay. Grants foster parents are not getting anything tangible in return for care, which have. According to statistics, in Bulgaria the majority of host families are paid.

Framar: What is the number of foster families in our area, Does uvelichavat time s.?

Currently the field has 36 foster families, that have adopted general 31 деца. 2 children are in the process of accommodation, 3 families are now prepared to accept. In 3 foster families have accommodated 2 деца. Also 2 disabled children are cared for by foster families. And the best news: after theChildrenof September 19 have already 2 families, Sat koito serious candidates for admission parents.
