RESUMO

This research focuses on "Affective Godfathering" program developed by the NGO ¿Friends of Lucas Institute¿, located in Porto Alegre / RS, which aims to encounter "godmothers" and/or "godfathers" for children and adolescents living in public shelters with low probability of being adopted. Through ethnography, the study discusses the possibility of "creating kinship" between people of different generations and classes, through an institutionalized form of godfathering, with emphasis on negotiations between the meanings and expectations that those involved in godfathering and institutions related to protecting the rights of children and adolescents develop around this practice.
