在过去的四十年里,收养发生了巨大的变化,对受收养影响的人提出了新的要求,包括收养人,被收养人和亲生亲属(即“收养三角”),以及相关的专业人员。在同一时期,与家庭有关的社会学理论有了很大发展,但这些理论在收养家庭关系中的应用却很有限。本文报道了一项深入的叙事研究的结果,22个父母谁收养了孩子超过24年的时间,他们的经验,社会学的概念“家庭习俗”和“展示家庭”。在一个日益开放的时代,继家庭陌生人收养之后,养父母面临的一个共同挑战是,需要创造一种新的亲属关系,在收养家庭的概念模型中包括收养亲属和亲生亲属,以及家庭的日常“行为”。的相关性的调查结果进行了探讨收养家庭生活,收养的做法,特别是,收养后的支持服务。
Adoption has changed significantly over the last four decades, placing new demands on those affected by adoption, including adopters, adoptees and birth relatives (i.e. the ‘adoption triangle’), as well as the professionals involved. Over the same period, sociological theories relating to the family have developed considerably, yet their application to adoptive family relationships has been limited. This paper reports the findings of an in-depth narrative study of twenty-two parents who adopted children over a twenty-four-year period, linking their experiences to the sociological concepts of ‘family practices’ and ‘displaying family’. A common challenge shared by adoptive parents following domestic stranger adoption in an era of increasing openness was the requirement to create a new version of kinship that includes both adoptive relatives and birth relatives within the conceptual model of the adoptive family as well as the day-to-day ‘doing’ of family. The relevance of findings are explored in relation to adoptive family life, adoption practice and, specifically, post-adoption support services.
