The International Convention on the Rights of the Child grants The right to children to have a life and a family.

The child, for the full development of his personality, needs love and understanding. Whenever possible, it should grow under the protection and under the responsibility of its parents and, in any case, in an atmosphere of affection and moral and material security. The society and public authorities will have the obligation to take special care of children without family or who lack adequate means of subsistence. The right of children to life and to have a family

Children have the right to a dignified life within a family, but a family does not mean only that there are blood ties, but it implies

having a name or a home, fundamental requirements to be a visible child and not fall intosocial discrimination. Parents are the first link in ensuring the

child's right to a family , protecting the child, ensuring a proper education and development, and ensuring their health, safety and morality.What happens to the rights of a child who has lost his or her family?

Although a child has been orphaned sin or without a family, he does not lose his right to have it, since family relationships are a basic need in children. Therefore, governments should organize a system of adoptability through which children are protected and helped to have a new family.

A child without family is still more vulnerable from the emotional to the social, it lacks affective bonds, but also a home, with the consequent risk of exclusion , so the governments of the different countries are committed to give priority to the situation of these children and find them a family as soon as possible, as far as possible.
