In modern Russia it is necessary to create conditions for the normal functioning of the family institution. It is necessary to eliminate the frequent situations when mothers abandon their children at the maternity hospital. At the scale of Russia, and not only in a single subject, it is necessary to create a well-functioning system for identifying and recording socially disadvantaged families and providing assistance to such crisis families, without bringing them to the critical point, when in order to protect the rights and interests of the child, their blood parents are deprived of parental rights and (or) restricted in their parental rights. It is necessary to create a mechanism for social support for both blood and surrogate families facing difficult life situations, thereby minimizing the placement of children in institutions for orphans and children left without parental care as a result of the termination of the foster-care agreement or the cancellation of adoption.The problem of protecting the rights and interests of orphans and children left without parental care today not only has not lost its relevance, but has become particularly acute. There is a phenomenon of social orphanhood in Russia. 90% of children in a difficult life situation are social orphans, i.e. orphans with living parents.
