The present research aims to argue the need to train adults involved in the adoption process, so that each of the actors involved in this process to achieve optimal success - applicants for adoption to become parents, the child / children to find their permanent family, and specialists to follow the stages the adoption and post-adoption process as efficiently as possible.
Adoption, although it has all the peculiarities of a classical family, is rather a transitional institution that creates a family different from the traditional biological family, serving a dual purpose, that of first offering a home to a child and then offering parents a child. The complexity of this process makes some applicants for adoption either delay the submission of an application for adoption or give up during the process facing a tumult of rules that become contradictory and create difficulties for them.
Between 2018-2021, research was conducted that included 120 candidates for adoption, who were trained according to a new curriculum, and as research methods were used semi-structured interview and psychological training. As result were strengthened the parenting knowledge and skills of least 120 adoptive parents (60 couples) for 18 months and as a consequence was updated the training curriculum for potential national adopters to increase the success of adoption.
