Descripción
Sumario:This article aims to investigate the challenges and motivations during the late adoption process, as well as the influence of these factors on the construction of the parent-child bond. An integrative literature review was performed by consulting PubMed, VHL, Scopus, Scielo and PsycINFO virtual databases. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, four studies remained for analysis. The main results indicate that parents feel anxiety during the adoption process, fear that the child may not feel belonging to the family and perceive prejudice from family and friends. Being infertility, being a homoparental couple and playing the role of caregiver were the main motivations for late adoption. Delayed legal proceedings have a negative impact on the development of the parent-child bond, generating feelings of helplessness, insecurity and anxiety in parents and hostility associated with the fear of abandonment in children.
