Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho dedica a sua atenção à problemática da adoção em Portugal, tendo como ponto de referência a realidade de uma das equipas técnicas do Serviço de Adoções do Instituto da Segurança Social do Centro Distrital do Porto. Este estudo dedica a sua atenção, especialmente, aos candidatos à adoção, no sentido de compreendermos o que os leva a tomar a decisão de adotar.
Em termos metodológicos, recorreu-se à entrevista em profundidade. Os participantes neste estudo são maioritariamente do sexo feminino, com elevadas habilitações literárias, casados, sem filhos e da zona do Porto. Este estudo foi aplicado a 30 participantes, casais e pessoas singulares, que se encontravam em fase de avaliação/seleção, mais concretamente em primeira entrevista, denominada de avaliação social.
Os resultados sugerem que existem motivações específicas que originam um processo de adoção: dificuldades em alcançar uma gravidez, infertilidade, insucesso dos tratamentos e ainda, adoção como primeira opção. De acordo com os resultados, o projeto de adoção é vivido de formas diferentes dependendo de cada casal/pessoa singular: entre a partilha e o silêncio. Este ponto é importante na compreensão da rede social de pertença de cada participante. Os resultados sugerem ainda que existem três características relativas à criança desejada: idade, sexo e raça/etnia.
This paper devotes its attention to the issue of adoption in Portugal, taking as point of reference the reality of technical staff of the Department of Adoptions from the Institute of Social Security of the Porto District Center. This study devotes especially attention to prospective adoptive parents, to understand what drives them to make the decision of adopt. In methodological terms, we resorted to the in-depth interview. The participants in this study are mostly female, with high academic qualifications, married, childless and from the Porto area. This study was administered to 30 participants, couples and individuals, who were under evaluation/selection, specifically in the first interview, called social assessment. The results suggest that there are specific reasons that give rise to an adoption process: difficulties in achieving a pregnancy, infertility, failure of therapy or adoption as the first option. According to the results, the proposed adoption is differently experienced depending on each couple / individual: between the silence and sharing. This point is important in understanding the social network of belonging to each participant. The results also suggest that there are three desired characteristics for child: age, sex and race / ethnicity.
