About God-Parent

The God-Parent commits to meeting with the child at least once a week at the site of the family care home, school, or long-term facility of the local/faith-based organization. The commitment should be life-long; weekly meetings take place until the child becomes an adult, after which the God-Parent should continue to serve as an integral role of his/her life. The goal of creating a relationship between a God-Parent and a child is to provide ongoing personal, emotional, spiritual, social, and economic support from a stable and caring adult who is a part of the child’s life voluntarily on a long-term basis. The child who is assigned a God-Parent should have transitioned out of a short-term shelter and into long-term family care or a family-care home. This God-Parent should be continually trained and provided support from the same local/faith-based organization.
