Psycho-social aspects of adoption in Andalucia

Abstract

In this article we have described the changes in the traditional family model in Spain and the transformations of the adoptive family. In addition to this, our main objective is to produce an unprecedented synthesis of a wide researching project about adoption in Andalucía. Our methodology has a qualitative focus and is based on an open interview to the spouses of seven adoptive families. The innovations of our project include a deep study of the fundamentals of the adoptive and biologic paternity and the meanings of the elements that configure the adoptive process for any of the interviewed spouses.
