Spanish term

guarda de tránsito

Spanish to English Other Law (general)
Estoy traduciendo una partida de nacimiento emitida en ARgentina donde el bebé nacido es adoptado.
Cómo puedo traducir el término "guarda de tránsito". No tengo contexto, sólo aparece el nombre de una persona y entre comas "guarda de tránsito".
Muchas gracias
Karina

provisional guardian

The person who has temporary care and control of the minor.
The original text doesn't refer guardianship but to the guardian himself/herself.

Spanish term (edited): guarda de tránsito

temporary custody

Surely if this is related to an adoption of a child, it has nothing to do with transit guards/police...

From Oxford Spanish dictionary:

guarda 2 femenino

B (Derecho) custody (of a child)
______________________________________

I would translate "de tránsito" as "temporary" or "provisional".

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Wendy.
agree patinba : Yes. temporary guardianship, better perhaps, if dealing with a child?

Cheers, Pat. Yes, I tend to agree with guardianship.
agree AllegroTrans : asker needs to consider exactly who has "custody"; "guardianship" is a specific term so care is needed here

Cheers, Allegro. Agreed. That's why I provided the dict. definition, as there wasn't enough context.
