Conditions for applying to the “Adopt a Family” program

The Foundation's programme is open to families with children who are minors (under 25 years of age due to disability and illness) with a life-threatening or serious genetic and/or musculoskeletal condition, where the condition causes such a deterioration in the child's quality of life that the child is in need of care, assistance or support at home, either in whole or in part, and therefore cannot attend an educational/care institution, and one or both parents are partially or totally unable to work or significantly disabled.

The Foundation will consider and decide on a case-by-case basis whether the applicant is adoptable by the Foundation. Applicants who are being fostered by their parent or close relative alone in the above circumstances are automatically adoptable without further consideration.

Support method

Under the adoption, the Foundation provides a fixed amount of support (HUF 50,000 per month for one year) by making payment(s) on behalf of the adopted person or his/her family up to the fixed amount. The adopted person may receive support from the Foundation in the following forms, each of which is individually determined:

1. The amount of the grant may be used by the Foundation for the maintenance of residential property in which the adopted person is officially registered or is proven to be living.

Maintenance of the dwelling includes: water, electricity, gas, basic cable TV package, 1 telephone subscription (excluding asset repayments), mortgage, rent and the settlement of the implementation of the above.

2. Payment for special medicines, medical treatment and development of the adopted person.
