BIOLOGICAL FAMILIES IN THE PROCESS OF ADOPTION OF A MINOR: CHARACTERISTICS AND SOCIAL TRAITS
Abstract
It is about making visible and showing the characteristics of the biological families of the boys and girls who are adopted in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia between the period 1987-2007. To verify these data, an exhaustive study of a total of 29 adoption files provided by the General Directorate of Families, as well as 4 interviews with adoptive parents. They constitute a sample and a significant example of the characteristics and social traits of biological families. Through case studies, we reflect on whether they have been excluded from the adoption process due to the characterization that emerges from them, as they are framed in serious problematic contexts that accentuate the risk that the minors entail living in these families.
