Resumo: This case study investigates the experience of adoption of a four months old child by a couple who alreadypossessed three biological children. The analysis of data, obtained by means of a semi-structured interview, showed that theadoptive parenthood experienced thorough fears of loss of the adopted child. These feelings seemed to be related to the wayin which the adoption came to terms, without following all necessary steps set up by the new Brazilian adoption law. For theadopting couple, the adoption process was an intense emotional experience, which was permeated by feelings of ambivalencethat deserve the attention of psychology professionals. Results show the need of offering psychosocial and legal attention bothto the adopters, the adopted and the family.

A partir de um estudo de caso, aborda-se a experiência de adoção de uma criança de quatro meses de idade por um casal com três filhos biológicos. Os dados obtidos por entrevistas semiestruturadas mostraram que a parentalidade adotiva foi experienciada em meio a temores/fantasias de perda/roubo da criança adotada. Isso pode ser associado ao modo como foi realizada a adoção, sem os cuidados preconizados pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente e a nova lei de adoção. O processo de adoção figurou para os adotantes como fonte de intensa carga emocional, permeada por sentimentos ambivalentes que merecem atenção dos profissionais da Psicologia. Os resultados ilustram a necessidade de atenção psicossocial-jurídica a adotantes, adotado e família biológica do adotado.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2012-04-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/17552Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 28 No. 1 (2012): Revista Psicologia Teoria e pesquisa; 55-63Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 28 Núm. 1 (2012): Revista Psicologia Teoria e pesquisa; 55-63Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 28 No. 1 (2012): Revista Psicologia Teoria e pesquisa; 55-63Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 28 n. 1 (2012): Revista Psicologia Teoria e pesquisa; 55-631806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
