The aim of the paper is to present comprehensive and innovative solutions used in the UK and the Flemish part of Belgium in the support of families adopting a child with disabilities. The material was collected on the basis of in-depth interviews conducted with Dr Lucille Allain from Middlesex University (UK) and Dr Prakash Goossens from Fracarita International, study visits, as well as analysis of documents available in the informational materials of ministries and non-governmental organizations. The tendencies present in the practice of both countries and selected forms of support, such as adoption leave with remuneration, financial assistance, accommodation adjustment, provision of care and therapy and help in becoming independent provided directly to people with disabilities were described. The analysis of the examples of both countries shows that families who have adopted disabled children can benefit from the privileges and allowances available for families with a disabled child (e.g. allowance for disabled persons, care allowance) and additional benefits resulting from the adoption of a child (e.g. adoption leave, Adoption Support Fund). In both countries, comprehensive and personalized solutions are implemented, including health, care, educational and therapeutic services, planned based on a multidisciplinary diagnosis. In addition, non-governmental and private organizations, apart from the state institutions, are systemically included in implementation of these solutions. In both countries, a number of practical solutions (e.g. personal budget) have been adopted to empower people with disabilities and their independent living in the local environment, ensuring, if needed, provision of the individualized support.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) affect children of mothers who abuse alcohol during pregnancy. There are two groups of disorders that can occur in a person with FASD: primary conditions, i.e. those with which the child is born - caused by damage to the central nervous system, and secondary conditions that appear over time. Children with FASD require special care and guidance. Very often they cannot be raised by their biological parents due to ongoing problem with alcohol

Autor artykułu charakteryzuje wybrane aspekty związane z funkcjonowaniem rodziny adopcyjnej, podkreślając jednocześnie jej istotność oraz szczególne miejsce w systemie opieki zastępczej nad dzieckiem opuszczonym i osieroconym. Zadanie to wydaje się obecnie szczególnie ważne, ponieważ wokół rodziny adopcyjnej panuje rodzaj społecznego stygmatu. Uznawana jest bowiem często za gorszy sposób stania się rodzicem, drogę do rodzicielstwa mniej wartościową, bo wybieraną wtedy, gdy inne zawiodły. Głównym celem niniejszego opracowania jest więc zwrócenie uwagi na specyficzny system rodzinny, jakim jest rodzina adopcyjna, stanowiąca jednocześnie najbardziej wartościową formę kompensacji sieroctwa społecznego. Autorka próbuje także wskazać czynniki, które sprzyjają powodzeniu adopcji, podejmuje również analizę zagadnienia jawności adopcji.

The author of the article attempts to characterize the chosen aspects related to functioning of adoptive family, emphasizing at the same time its importance and special place in foster care system which focuses on abandoned and orphan child. This issue contemporary seems to be especially vital, since the subject of adoptive family brings a kind of social stigma. That stems from the fact that such family is often considered as a worse way to become a parent, and as a less valuable path to the parenthood because it is chosen when all of the others have failed. The main objective of the following paper is, therefore, to draw the attention to specific family system, particularly the adoptive family, which at the same time, constitutes the most valuable form of social orphanhood compensation. The author tries also to indicate the factors that contribute to the success of adoption. Moreover, she attempts to analyze the issue of adoption overtness.

Adoption is of interest to such disciplines as psychology, sociology, education, law. Theories are not very numerous, and especially lack of empirical data collected from parents who already process of adoption have had. The authors attempted to partially fill this gap and conducted interviews with persons having adoption process behind them. The presented data come from families whose adoption process is a success, and the adoption took place between one and four years ago before the interview.

Problematyka adopcji jest przedmiotem zainteresowania takich dyscyplin naukowych, jak psychologia, socjologia, pedagogika, prawo. Opracowania teoretyczne nie są jednak zbyt liczne, a szczególnie brakuje danych empirycznych zebranych od rodziców, którzy zakończyli proces przysposobienia. Autorki podjęły próbę częściowego zapełnienia tej luki i przeprowadziły wywiady z osobami mającymi za sobą proces adopcji. Prezentowane dane pochodzą od rodzin, których proces przysposobienia zakończył się sukcesem, a przysposobienie nastąpiło od roku do pięciu lat wstecz, do momentu przeprowadzenia wywiadu.

An orphaned child, who has no more opportunity for growth and development in its biological family, is often sent to an orphanage, or another residential institution devoted to this type of care. Children who in the beginning of their childhood are raised in these institutions do not always have a chance for good development because places like this are not always able to meet the children’s most important needs. Institutional upbringing often only consists of meeting their basic needs such as proper hygiene and providing food, but this is not enough to promote a proper physical, social or cognitive development of any child. For a proper development, the child psychological needs need to be satisfied and this is required for its well-being. These can only be maintained by providing security, love, belonging and an emotional contact with another person. All these needs can only be provided and guaranteed by a healthy family environment. For an orphaned child, the lack of its own family can only be compensated by an adoptive family. Adoption is the best form of care whereby a family assumes the parenting for another and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities, along with fi liation, from the biological parents. Adoptive families are the closest in its form to a biological family, and should be the most valued mean of tackling the problem of orphaned children in our society.
