- Foster family. In this case, an agreement is drawn up between the parents and the guardianship authority, which specifies the wage rate of the adoptive father and mother and the amount of funds given for the maintenance of the orphan.
- Foster care. In this case, the children are engaged in specialized services and organizations. Foster care providers provide the child with all the necessary assistance.
