收养被一致认为是一个终身的过程，但成年和为人父母是生命周期的阶段，到目前为止，只有很少的探索。本研究的主要目的是双重的：第一，分析父母身份是否以及如何可能导致被收养人和他/她的合作伙伴重新解释的通过历史，第二，以验证是否有两个合作伙伴的态度，关于通过是相似的或互补的。34对夫妇组成的一个通过和一个非通过的合作伙伴，现在的父母，进行了采访和图形工具，双月测试，管理。结果显示，大多数夫妇在评估原籍背景和收养家庭方面表现出共同的态度。然而，在一些情况下出现了不同的立场，强调非收养伙伴在鼓励被收养人重新审视其收养历史方面的关键作用。总体而言，研究结果的实际意义进行了讨论，并提出了未来的研究方向。
Adoption is unanimously considered a lifelong process, but adulthood and parenthood are life cycle stages that up to now have been explored only marginally. The principal aim of the present study is twofold: first, to analyze whether and how parenthood might lead the adoptee and his/her partner to reinterpret the adoption history and, second, to verify whether the attitudes of the two partners concerning adoption are similar or complementary. Thirty-four couples consisting of one adopted and one non-adopted partner, now parents, were interviewed and a graphic instrument, the Double Moon Test, was administered. Results revealed that most couples showed a shared attitude in valorizing both the origin background and the adoptive family. However, in a number of cases a divergent position emerged, highlighting the crucial role of the non-adopted partner in encouraging the adoptee to revisit his/her adoption history. Overall, the practical relevance of the research findings is discussed and future direction of research are suggested.
