Foster Care of Romani Children
MARKOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis deals with foster care providers and their motivation to perform foster care. The aim of the work was to find out what are the factors of motivation for foster care of a Roma child. In the theoretical part, I described the basic concepts related to the concept of alternative family care, including the legislative framework. Subsequently, I also described the topic of the Roma community, the Roma family and the formation of the identity of a Roma child in a non-Roma surrogate family. In the practical part, qualitative research was used, more precisely biographical interviews, which I supplemented by subsequent questioning. The communication partners were families who provide foster care, have at least one child of the Roma ethnic group and are themselves of the non-Roma ethnic group. Another condition for the selection of communication partners was that they have a permanent residence in the South Bohemian Region. All obtained data are analyzed in a way based on grounded theory. While processing this bachelor's thesis, I found that motivation can be different and different from each individual separately. The main factors of initial motivation can be external and internal influences, in each case the greatest impact on such decisions has the environment, family, friends or even professional life. Cooperation with the relevant authorities and social workers is especially important for every applicant for alternative family care. If the applicant is sure that his interest is also supported by the authorities, this decision is often full and fulfilled.
