Termination of substitute family care before 18th year of child´s age
HOUŠKOVÁ, Blanka
The objective of my work has been to monitor the opinions of social workers operating within the departments of social and legal protection of children at village municipalities with an extended scope of authority in the South Bohemian region as related to the problems of child care and education in substitute family care from the perspective of a social worker. The second objective has been to map the situation of children registered by the departments of social and legal protection of children of South Bohemia, the substitute family care of which was terminated before the 18th year of child´s age during the years 2003 {--} 2009. Due to significant reasons substitute family care, with the exception of adoption, can be terminated earlier. This presents a difficult situation both for the foster parents and for the foster children put into substitute family care. The results of my work have shown that most social workers do not lack the assistance of professional facilities that would support foster families in their regions. The most common reason for the termination of substitute family care before the 18th year of child´s age have been educational problems involving a whole range of issues. For most children, the termination of substitute family care resulted in institutional care {--} youth educational centers.

Ethical questions concerning the homosexual partnership
TAUBROVÁ, Květa
This bachelor thesis deals with the topics which are connected with a partnership between homosexual persons. There is a description of few ethic problems, e.g. registered partnership, adoption by homosexual couples, convention and attitudes towards homosexuality in many different cultures and religions. Some important names e.g. Jiří Hromada (an editor of gay magazines and a gay activist) or important organizations e.g. SOHO, STUD, HRHO and many other organizations are mentioned as well. Homose uality was, is and probably will be discussed very much. It is a worldwide topic not only for ethic, but also for religion. Despite the fact that the Bible does not know the word "homosexuality", we can say that homosexuality is rejected by Scripture. (Lv 18,22; 20,13). The possibility of an adoption can be very often a wish of many homosexual orientated persons. That is why some terms connected with a compensatory family care, a procedure how apply for the compensatory family care and a possibility of IVF are concerned.

A perspective of students from Faculty of Agriculture and students from Faculty of Health and Social Studies of University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice on the foster care
FEDROVÁ, Ilona
A family is an important primary social group for the child. But many children grow up in institutional facilities where it comes to their mental deprivation. An objective of our society is to grow up children in full-fledged families. This bachelor thesis is called: "A perspective of students from Faculty of Agriculture and students from Faculty of Health and Social Studies of University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice on the foster care." The thesis has been divided into two parts. A theoretical part deals with the foster care and infertility. An aim of a practical part was to chart an awareness of students from Faculty of Agriculture and Faculty of Health and Social Studies on the foster care and at the same time to identify possible differences on the given issue among students from individual faculties. A quantitative research was used to collect empirical data, then an interviewing method and a questionnaire technique. To choose a research sample I used a snowball technique. The research sample was formed of 73 students from full-time and part-time studies from Faculty of Health and Social Studies and the second one of 67 students also from the full- and part-time studies of Faculty of Agriculture of University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice in the academic year 2010/2011. There was formulated a hypothesis: ?Students from Faculty of Health and Social Studies have a greater knowledge of the foster care than students from Faculty of Agriculture.?, which was confirmed. The research showed that women-students had more accurate information about the foster care than men-students. The bachelor thesis could become a basis for further processing of citizen´s positions, for example of secondary school students, seniors or public from different regions or countries. A perspective of elementary school students who grow up in institutional facilities in comparison with children growing up in families could be another interesting finding. It can also benefit to candidates for a mediation of the foster care to obtain necessary information.

Attitude of the public to the adoption of children of another ethnicity to substitute family care
NOVÁKOVÁ, Markéta
For most of us parenthood is a natural part of life. Still the number of families today who remain childless even though they wish to have a child, is on the increase. On the other hand, there are still many children living in caretaking institutions. This raises the question as to how this situation can be dealt with? One of the possible solutions is the substitute family care. This thesis is divided into two separate parts, the first dealing with theoretical aspects and the second with research. The aim of the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis was to explain the concept of substitute family care and describe its different forms. In the conclusion of the theoretical part I have outlined the pitfalls of the substitute family care in relation to a child from a different ethnic group. In the practical part I focused on establishing the opinion on accepting children of different ethnic origin into substitute family care among the general public in České Budějovice. I tried to reach the set goal through a quantitative research using the questionnaire method. A questionnaire including 17 questions was used as a research technique. The questions were arranged in two groups: the questions to obtain identification characteristics of respondents and those concerning respondents{\crq} views on the given problems. 200 questionnaires were handed out and 113 were returned, i.e. the participation rate amounted to 56.5 %. The research results have shown that people are quite tolerant as far as sex and age of a child are concerned. Regrettably, it is not the case when it comes to ethnic origin of a child. People who are not tolerant towards and willing to accept a child from a different ethnic group into substitute family care still prevail in society.

The first goal was to map the issue of the foster care exercised by children?s relatives which was registered at the Municipal Office in Písek in 2009. The second goal was to find reasons for the consigning of children into that form of substitute family care. Two research corpuses were designated and the strategy of quantitative research was chosen for objects achieving. Two hypotheses were set: Hypothesis No. 1: Most of the children who are in the foster care of their relatives are in some contact with their own biological parents. Hypothesis No. 2: Parental failure to perform rights and duties regarding children?s welfare is the most frequent reason for putting children into foster care exercised by children?s relatives. Hypothesis No. 1 was proofed. Hypothesis No. 2 was not proofed
