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.

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.

Situation of children in the Charlotta Masaryk children´s home and their departure into foster family care
JALOVCOVÁ, Klára
The substitute educational care embraces all kinds of a substitute family for children without own functioning family background. There are two forms - the institutional and the family one. In my bachelor thesis I focused on issues relating to children from the Charlotta Masaryk´s Children Care Home and their departure to substitute family care. This medical facility has a relatively small capacity and is intended for children from one to three years of age. In accordance with the set goals, I divided the practical part into two sections. The first goal was to ascertain social, health and legal situation of children with ordered institutional upbringing, who were placed in the Charlotta Masaryk´s Children Care Home in the years of 2005 to 2008. The other goal was to map the situation of children with the ordered institutional upbringing, who departed from the Charlotta Masaryk´s Children Care Home to the substitute family care. Both goals were fulfilled. In order to fulfil the goals, a quantitative research method was used, i.e. the secondary data analysis technique. The following hypotheses were set: Hypothesis 1 - The most frequent reason for placing children in the children´s care home are social and health reasons Hypothesis 2 - the majority of children come to the children´s family home in a bad health condition. Hypothesis 3 - the majority of children from the children´s family home are in contact with their biological family Hypothesis 4 - Children placed in the substitute family care leave most frequently to the foster care. The hypothesis 2 was not confirmed, while the other hypotheses proved correct. It follows from the results of the hypothesis 1, that children come to the children care home most often out of social and health reasons, there are few purely health reasons. This is connected with the hypothesis 2, which was not confirmed. That is, the majority of children come to the children care home in a good health condition. The predominant majority of children come to the children care home from a family and stay in contact with them (hypothesis 3). Children most often return to their family; in the event that they leave to the substitute family care, then the foster care prevails over adoption (hypothesis 4). The results of work will be used for the purposes of Charlotta Masaryk´s Children Care Home and also for social workers, so that they can get an overview of the situation in the facility in question.

Temporary foster care in the current system of substitute family care
KOSINOVÁ, Michaela
This thesis discusses all forms of foster care. It defines legal regulations for all forms of fostering and their respective differences. In particular, it deals with a new form of foster care {--} temporary fostering. It is also aimed to visualize the mediation process of foster care that must be completed by fostering applicants. The objective of this thesis is to find out how temporary foster care is used in the present fostering system. It identifies a number of applicants for this type of foster care as well as it maps the views of fostering officers at the Regional Authorities in the Czech Republic regarding the issue of temporary foster care. For this purpose, we applied an interrogation method using a question form. A set of fostering officers of the Regional Authorities in the Czech Republic was created. These officers were approached via e-mail. The results show that most of the fostering officers see temporary foster care as a necessary institute in the Czech Republic. The majority of them, however, suspect that its current concept brings a number of obstacles that entail low interest for this form of foster care. The survey identified that 4 applicants for temporary foster care were registered by the Regional Authorities as of December 31, 2008.
