A contribuição do Serviço Social no processo de adoção de crianças negras

Abstract

This assignment aims to discuss the contribution of the work of social service professionals in the process of adopting black children. It is proposed to research aspects of the adoption process, based on a survey of data available in the National Adoption Registry (NAR, 2020). Initially, we approach the socio-historical context of the adoption process, racism and the intervention of the social service professional in the socio-legal field. We identified the existence of racial prejudices that permeate many of the adoption criteria defined by the adopters. The interest in this theme stems from the internship experience as a social work student at the Childhood and Adolescence Court during the years 2019 and 2020, which we can see the importance of the work of the social worker in the adoption process of black children.
