Summary/Abstract: This is a project in which I’ve been working hardly for 6 months in Belgrade during the year 2011. Methodology was relaxed conversation with some questions answers. Informants could explain some social networks and new problems which I didn’t noticed. I wanted to know what people and his/her families think about godfather/ godmother in our country, and is it alive or dying phenomenon in Serbian society. How we see others and how others see us in social networks, giving & taking presents. The most important question was about a man who would be the best to adopt our children.
