foster, different from adoption, is a form of parenting that does not establish a formal relationship between parents and children. Although the guardianship belongs to the Civil Affairs Department, it is only a "simulated family", but between foster children and foster families, it is often "not a relative, better than a loved one".
brings a warm foster care system for thousands of children and is now facing a policy adjustment: the "family foster management method" issued by the Ministry of civil affairs, which is about to be formally implemented in December 1st.

- the editor of
17, Anhui girl Zhang Xiaoping (the pseudonym), enrolled in a secondary school in Hefei. His father died in 2009, and his mother suffered from severe mental illness. At that time, the young Zhang Xiaoping was once a child who had no one to take care of. In 2011, "new mother" Xu Lihua (a pseudonym) took Zhang Xiaoping home, formally established foster relations and assumed the responsibility of bringing up Zhang Xiaoping.
a foster care case like Zhang Xiaoping is a new model for the development of children's welfare in China. The scale is increasing. It is not only the need of the development of modern society, but also the need for the development and healthy growth of the orphans and disabled children. The good family environment makes the children feel the warmth of their home again, and have a sense of belonging and a sense of security.
Layer escort, if the foster child is abused, it should be relieved of the foster relationship
"when Ping Ping is coming, it is timid, sensitive, restrained and almost non - speaking. We have little chance to talk to her and talk with her, and we can only care about her in small matters. In Xu Lihua's impression, Ping Ping, who had just arrived at home, was careful not to pick up his food while he was eating. He went out to buy clothes and didn't dare to pick.
communication and familiarity require a step-by-step process. Xu Lihua said, "during the holidays, we will take our children to the park to enjoy flowers, take a walk, or study knowledge in museums and science and technology museums. Slowly, the child is familiar with us.
in Anhui, the child welfare agency will conduct follow-up evaluations of foster families such as Xu Lihua to ensure the healthy growth of foster children. The Hefei Welfare Institute has set up a foster care office in the foster care center, and has set up a health center, equipped with full-time staff including doctors and special teachers. In addition, a group leader is set up in every village of the foster home to assist in the management of foster families.
in accordance with the new regulation, if the foster family is discriminatory, abused to foster children, or to collect money to collect money by a foster child, or if a major cause can not fulfill the obligation of foster care, the relationship of foster care should be relieved.
what will be done for the children of foster children? "According to the notice of the office of the people's Government of the Anhui Province on Further Strengthening the orphan guarantee work, the orphans who have the ability to work after adult will receive vocational training subsidies, vocational skills identification subsidies, free career introductions, vocational introduction subsidies and social insurance subsidies. Preferential policies will also give priority to the employment of public welfare posts developed by the government. Zhang Zhenyue, deputy director of the social welfare and charity Promotion Office of the Civil Affairs Department of Anhui Province, introduced that adult orphans who were physically disabled and independent of their independent life would transfer them from the welfare institutions of the children to other social welfare institutions, and put them in accordance with the city's "three noties".
in housing, after the adult orphans of the countryside, the rural housing orphans can be given priority to the rural housing reform plan; the adult of the city, in accordance with the conditions of the urban low rent housing security, or other guaranteed housing supply conditions, the local government will also arrange and ensure the protection of the local government.
the overall level of foster families is not ideal, and financial manpower investment should be strengthened by the
Zhang Zhenyue research. In the foster family, the urban families with better conditions, especially the higher education and the better economic conditions, are basically not. At present, the mainly rural families who are willing to declare to be a foster family are mostly rural families. Most of the family conditions can only reach the basic conditions of foster care, and the overall level of the foster family is not ideal.
"this phenomenon is caused by many factors." "On the one hand," Zhang Zhenyue said, "on the one hand, the public awareness of public welfare is not high, and the family that is really willing to nurture and train orphans for many years is very rare; on the other hand, the publicity work has not been in a large scope to create a strong atmosphere of caring for orphans, and it is still necessary to solve this problem for a long time."
the economic problem is also a big problem.
"children's expenses are mainly food, clothing, tuition, books, etc., which are around 500 yuan a month. On the secondary school, a semester tuition fee of more than 2000 yuan, really stretched. " Xu Lihua earned money by helping people clean up, earning less than 2000 yuan a month. The husband works as a lathe worker in a forklift factory, earning 3000 yuan a month. Although it can receive 1000 yuan subsidy and subsidy every month, compared with all kinds of daily expenses, some of them are still unable to make ends meet.
