Resumo: | Focusing on the Brazilian context, I propose in this article to discuss how certain notions involving money, care, and kinship underwrite laws that decree the termination of relations between birth parents and their children who have been adopted into other families. Inspired in discussions on biopolitics, I consider laws and legislation as part of the “new reproductive technologies”. Relying on a multi-sited ethnography in southern Brazil that took me from shanty towns in Porto Alegre to the observation of court proceedings as well as interviews with adoptive parents, I introduce the theme of money in order to bring out some of the arguments used to justify the procedures of “de-kinning” typical of plenary adoption. I then investigate how the legal technologies surrounding adoption influence the sentiments and practices of certain birth and adoptive mothers in Brazil. |

Inspirada em discussões de biopolítica, considero as leis e a legislação como parte das “novas tecnologias reprodutivas”. Apoiando-me numa etnografia multi-situada no Brasil, que me levou das vilas de Porto Alegre à observação de procedimentos no Juizado da Infância e da Juventude, bem como a entrevistas com pais adotivos, introduzo na análise o tema do dinheiro para melhor entender alguns argumentos usados para justificar o processo de “desparenteamento” típico da adoção plena. Investigo então como as tecnologias legais em torno da adoção influenciam os sentimentos, assim como as práticas, de certas mães de nascimento e adotivas no Brasil.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2014-01-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/1548110.15448/1984-7289.2013.2.15481Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2013): Childhoods and children: knowledge, technologies and practices; 269-291Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 13 Núm. 2 (2013): Infâncias e crianças: saberes, tecnologias e práticas; 269-291Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 13 n. 2 (2013): Infâncias e crianças: saberes, tecnologias e práticas; 269-2911984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2013.2reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.
