The tiny Zuzia is waiting for foster parents, for care and love. Parents have found themselves, and yet they cannot take care of it. The refusal is lawful, it is about qualification requirements. The Ministry of Justice asked the court for information. A spokeswoman for a child's rights also operates in this matter.
It could be a beautiful story with a happy ending, in which there is a little girl, eight -month -old Zuzia, waiting for her parents. There is also a marriage that love and home wants to give her.
The family hoped that after the hearing in Zabrze they would come back with the girl. Mrs. Edyta Wojtasińska from the Association of Foster Parenting One Heart and the Support Center for Children and Families “Lighthouse” in Biała Podlaska also hoped. It supports a couple who wants to remain anonymous.
– There was a verdict that a family who came that day, driving from 4 am from the other end of Poland, cannot become a foster family. The argument is that they are not a specialist family – says Edyta Wojtasińska.
The couple was qualified to be a reliable foster family. The girl is fed by the probe, she has been in the hospital since birth. The court spokesman talks about “a child in a very serious health” and that he is undoubtedly a child with some disability, so it must be a specialist family.

There is a lack of specialist families
Experts involved in the case refer to the opinion of the hospital of April 9, in which it was written that Zuzia requires standard parental care taking into account the care of the probe.
– Specialist families in Poland for many years in Poland have definitely not enough and very little, because less than 250 – notes Joanna Luberadzka -Gruca from the “Polish women can” foundation.
For over 7,500 children in foster families with disability rulings, only about 500 are in specialist families. Time is running away and it does not affect the development of such a small child, and the new home is waiting.
– Zuzia will get constant care during the day and night from the same people, which is absolutely crucial for her development, for her sense of security – emphasizes Mrs. Edyta Wojtasińska. – This is where a situation happened that we have no permission. We have a child in a hospital, we have foster parents who have readiness here and now, that is, for several weeks, accept the child to their home and to their hearts – says Magdalena Różczka, actress, president of the “Loved” Foundation.

The Ministry and the Ombudsman for Children intervenes
The girl is to go to the care and treatment institution. The Ministry of Justice asked the court for information. The spokeswoman for children's rights Monika Horna-Cieślak and the deputy minister of the family Aleksandra Gajewska also operates in this matter.
– We will appeal against this decision. At the same time, in an urgent mode, we submitted a request that the girl stay immediately among people who agreed to be a foster family – says Monika Horna -Cieślak. – What is most important in this situation is the primacy of a child's good and this should be overdone – emphasizes Aleksandra Gajewska.
On Friday, the court appointed the legal guardian of Zuzia. According to the deputy minister, he is a person from DPS.
