Can I meet all the child's needs with the Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit or a notarized letter from the parents?

Maybe not. Here's why:

• Not all schools or medical facilities accept the Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit or a notarized letter.
• The parents can cancel these forms or a letter at any time and take the child, even if it's not safe for the child.
• It may be hard for you to get medical insurance for the child unless you are the legal guardian.
