Whāngai adoption
text:
Whāngai adoption, often referred to simply as whāngai, is a traditional method of open adoption among the Māori people of New Zealand. Whāngai is a community process rather than a legal process, and usually involves a child being brought up by a close relative, either because his or her parents have died or because they are unable to look after the child. The adoptive parent is known as a matua whāngai, and the child is called a tamaiti whāngai. The child knows both its birth and whāngai parents
