Article 20, Care by Surrogates:
If proper care cannot be provided by either your parents or
your family, those who look after you should respect your
language, culture and religion.

Article 21, Adoption:
Your well-being is the first consideration if you are put up
for adoption. This includes whether you will stay in your own
country or not.

Article 22, Children who are refugees:
In the case that you were not safe in your own country
and have sought refuge in another country, protection and
support are your right. Your rights are the same as any child
who is a citizen of that country.

Article 23, Children with a disability:
You have the right to special care and education and the
support you need to live as full and independent a life
as you are able. This includes, if you wish, participation in
your community.

Article 24, Services for and care of your health:
Healthcare of good quality, including healthcare workers,
hospitals and access to medicine is your right. Rich countries
have the responsibility to help poorer countries provide a
clean, healthy environment, which includes clean water and
food that nourishes you as well as an education on how to
keep yourself healthy.

Article 25, Your treatment should be regularly reviewed:
If your parents are unable to care for you and that
responsibility falls to local authorities or to care facilities,
your situation should be periodically checked to be
sure your care and treatment are adequate.
