Foster Care Day (Dzień Rodzicielstwa Zastępczego) is observed in Poland every May 30. Established by the Sejm of the Republic of Poland in 2006, this observance aims to promote foster parenting and support for orphans and children without parental care. Foster care involves placing minors in the care of state-certified foster parents or institutions, with the state providing financial compensation for their expenses. Unlike adoption, foster parents do not have legal rights over the child; instead, the state, through child protective services and family court, acts in the child's best interest. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of providing nurturing families for children in need.
