Adoção tardia: a morosidade da justiça e a influência na permanência de crianças e adolescentes nos centros de acolhimento.

Abstract

Late adoption is conceptualized as the adoption of children over two years of age, since they do not fit the preference of most adopters, who would be of newborn children. Thus, the problem of the present study was to understand how the bureaucracy influence the late adoption and which situations contribute to the permanence of children and adolescents in institutional reception centers. This monograph had as general objective to analyze the bureaucratization of the Brazilian laws that deal with the adoption and situations that influence the permanence of children and adolescents in institutional centers for years, allowing them to age, in order to reduce the chances of insertion into the family substitute. In addition, the objective of the research was to conceptualize the adoption in Brazil, analyzing the history of the adoption institute; tracing the historical-legislative evolution of the institute of adoption in Brazil; and, providing statistical data regarding the adoption of children and adolescents in Brazil. The methodology used was the deductive, through a descriptive, qualitative and documentary research, through websites, doctrines, scientific articles and Brazilian legal legislation. After the research, it was realized that a multidisciplinary union was necessary, including the legal, psychological, social and other areas that can cooperate, leaving the legal system more agile, as well as expanding the support system for these children and adolescentes, in order to demystify the process of adopting older children, to increase adoption rates. It also became possible through the research to confirm some hypotheses that contribute to the permanence of the children and adolescents in the centers of reception and in the national register of adoption.
