Can I change my kafala child's name?
The kafala family has the right to change the child's first name. The family also has the right to change either the child's second name or last name. This modification typically involves incorporating the kafala father's first name OR the family name while keeping the rest of the child's name distinct from the kafala father's name. For instance, if the child's original name is Ahmed Ali Hussein and the kafala father's name is Yahya Abd Al-Ghani Al-Khouli, the family may choose to change the child's first name (Ahmed) to (Mazen) and replace either the second name (Ali) with the kafala father's first name (Yahya), while retaining the rest of the child's name. Alternatively, they can also change the kafala child's family name, replacing it with the father's family name. Consequently, the child's name may become "Mazen Yahya Hussein" or "Mazen Ali Al-Khouli".
Why are the children in orphanages? Who abandons their children?
Children are in the orphanages for no fault of their own, mostly because they were abandoned by the people who were supposed to care for them. Most children in Egypt are abandoned because they have been born out of wedlock (which is a heavily condemned act in Egyptian society). Some other reasons are economic as some families struggle and live in poverty and can’t cope. Some families abandon their children because of disability or other special needs. So families sometimes see orphanages as a way in which they can improve the chances for their children, and this is fed by a perception that their child will be better off.Once a child is abandoned, he/she is incorporated into the state system for the care of children deprived of parental care. Children under two years are sent to centers that belong to the MOH, while children over 2 years are sent to centers that belong to the MOSS.There are many studies that show how children in institutional care lack emotionally and developmentally in comparison with children in families. A loving family is all that any child needs and you don’t need to be perfect to be a perfect parent for one of them.
