建立情感纽带是收养家庭最重要的任务之一。大多数关于收养依恋的研究都集中在年幼的领养儿童身上，而不是处于其他发展阶段的被领养者。本研究旨在通过将被收养的青少年与一组收容机构的青少年和社区中的另一名青少年配对，来评估他们与养父母之间的依恋关系的自我知觉。165名青少年(55名领养，55名寄养，55名与亲生家庭一起生活)参与了这项研究。使用父母和同伴依恋问卷收集数据，以评估与父母在三个维度上的依恋关系：信任、沟通和疏远。结果表明，与社区中的同龄人相比，被收养者对自己与父母的关系的感知方式相似，在信任和沟通方面表现出更高的结果，在疏离感方面表现出更低的得分。结果强调了家庭背景经验的相关性，并表明收养可以提供建立安全依恋关系的可能性，但在集体照料的情况下不是这样，而在制度化照料中发生的情况则不同。
The establishment of emotional bonds is one of the most important tasks of the adoptive family. Most research about attachment in adoption focuses on young adopted children, as opposed to adoptees in other stages of development. The present study aims at assessing the adopted adolescents' self-perception of attachment relationships with their adoptive parents, by pairing them with a group of institutionalized adolescents and another one of adolescents in the community. One hundred sixty-five adolescents (55 adopted, 55 in residential care, and 55 living with their birth family), aged 12 to 19, participated in this study. Data were collected using the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment to assess attachment relationships with parents on three dimensions: trust, communication, and alienation. The results showed that adoptees perceived their relationship with their parents in a similar way to peers in the community and presented higher results when compared to institutionalized adolescents in trust and communication and lower scores in alienation. The results highlighted the relevance of family context experiences and suggested that adoption can offer the possibility of building a secure attachment relationship, which is not the case in the context of collective care, as happens within institutionalized care.
