Abstract

This Edict authorizes the fostering of children in Kavo, Nigeria, who are abandoned, deserted by relatives, ill treated, or found destitute, among other things. It provides that the effect of a fostering order is to suspend the parents' rights and obligations and transfer them to the foster parents. Under appropriate circumstances, a fostering order can be revoked.
