Sponsorship has supported staff, including nurses, social worker and doctor to find
foster homes for the babies and children who are abandoned at the hospitals.
Abandoned babies have successfully been found Romanian foster families and in
many cases the family has lovingly accepted the child and proceeded to legally
adopt them into the family.
There is now a Child Protection Agency that
is working to address the problem of abandonment and FSF now supports a programme
of reintegrating the child back into the biological family, although some
fostering still takes place. It is necessary for the biological family to have
water and electricity to receive a child back, but this alone is not enough to
meet a child's social needs. Sponsorship enables FSF to provide some financial
aid in the form of food or bill payment and to help find work to encourage families
to stay together. |
