الرعاية البديلة للطفل مجهول النسب في التشريع الجزائري

Abstract EN

: Our study aims to show the efforts deployed by Algeria to protect children with unknown parents as they are deprived from the family setting, which is the basis of social care.

In his legal system, Algeria sought to establish a legal rules that can ensure an alternative care to these children, by creating childhood care institutions or placing them in a foster family throught the Kafala system recognized by the Islamic shariaa.

Algeria has reinforced the kafala system by setting regulations, which allow the sponsoring parent (Al Kafil) the possibility to grant his family name to the sponsored child, with the objective to provide some social balance to this category of children.
