| Sumario: | This article describes a research on adoption. It was intended to better instrumentalize the practice of the judicial psychologist who acts advising the process of qualification for adoption, in order to contribute to the establishment of the necessary links for the success of the process. Five heterosexual couples, civilly married and included in the National System of Adoption and Foster Care, aged between 29 and 49 years, participated in the qualitative research, characteristics that were prevalent in the largest group of applicants registered in the SNA. The instruments used were: sociodemographic questionnaire and semi-open interview. The content of the reports was analyzed in order to identify the common themes and the symbolic aspects involved. The following motivations for adoption were found: desire to start a family; desire to exercise paternity/maternity; desire to have a child. Infertility, in this research, emerged as a pathway to adoption. Some elements emerged as unconscious aspects, such as the idealization of the child and the family to come, the narcissistic wound and the parental complexes. |
