Support for Foster and Adoptive Families: Government Summarizes 2023 Changes.
The government presents a report on the state of child care in 2023, highlighting important changes for foster and adoptive families. Higher remuneration for caregivers was introduced, adopting older children was made easier, and the income criterion for aid for young adults leaving care was abolished.
Key points
Professional foster families and those running family-style children's homes received a higher minimum remuneration, no less than PLN 4,100 per month.
Young adults leaving foster care can more easily obtain financial aid for starting their adult life, as the income limit has been removed.
Adoptive parents can take parenthood-related leave until the child turns 14, which is intended to facilitate the adoption of older children.
A ban on creating new care and education institutions (so-called children's homes) of specific types was introduced to promote family-based care.
Young adults who have left foster care now have a one-time opportunity to return in special life situations.
