Technically, no, not legally. Godparents take a religious oath to help in rearing a child in religious ways. But when both parents die, godparents are under no legal obligation to assume the daily care of children. Plus, legally, the godparents may not be able to become caregivers. They may be ill, too old, or have other problems that would make godparents unable to care for children.

Do you have any parents?

Since it takes both a man and a woman (a mother and a father) to conceive and have a baby, everyone is born of two parents. However, not everyone has parents, since parents do die. Children who have had both parents die are "orphans". But if they later become adopted, then they have adoptive parents.
