Final bill on foster parenting forwarded to parliament

The government on Wednesday sent to parliament a final bill on foster parenting which treats foster care as a job by foster parents who have been unemployed and also provides for specialised foster caring for children with special needs, so that carers in all those cases are properly remunerated. The Minister of Demography, Family, Youth and Social Welfare, Nada Murganic, said that the bill had been prepared in a bid to improve the current unsatisfactory state of affairs in the field of foster parenting, given that there are not enough foster families and that they are unevenly distributed across the country.
