The Role of the Adoption Procedure in the Psychological Well-being of Adopted Children and Adoptive Parents
Session
Psychology
Description
This work focuses on the emotional and psychological development of adopted children, the challenges they may encounter in their journey of coexistence with their adoptive parents, and during and after the adoption process. The study primarily centers on the development of the adoption procedure in Albania.
The findings highlight that adoption is both a legal and psychological process, characterized by high sensitivity, involving adoptive parents, adopted children, and relevant institutions as third parties. This process requires special care and an appropriate approach to improve the overall well-being of adopted children and adoptive parents. More than just the goal of finding a family for every declared abandoned child, adoption is a mission that involves multiple stakeholders and demands care and delicacy at every step, with the ultimate aim of successfully completing the procedure, starting with the training of prospective adoptive parents and ending with the placement and integration of the child into the new family environment. During the work, a summary of the adoption procedure will be created, emphasizing the emotions, challenges, and opportunities experienced by those involved in this process.
The work aims to stimulate discussions about the impact of the adoption process on the psychological well-being of adopted children and adoptive parents. The topic of adoption and the psychological state of adopted children is important to address in order to understand how we as a society or professionals can provide the proper care and support for this unique group of children and their parents.
Keywords:
adopted children, adoptive parents, adoption procedure, psychological state, adaptation period, post-adoption period.
