This article focuses on the emotional experiences of adoptive families particularly in theinitial phase of adoptive parenthood. It is part of a research project devoted to the constructionof adoptive parenthood. The argument I develop here is based on empirical datafrom participant observation, autoethnography and an analysis of the existing literature.Employing the concept and method of bricolage, I consider issues related to adoptive parenthoodwhich have merged from two different empirical data sets. On the one hand,I use unstructured interviews conducted after a phase of autoethnography and participantobservation in an informal support group for people waiting for adoption and with adoptivefamilies (which was the main inspiration for this article); on the other hand, I analyseblogs which are dedicated to all issues concerning adoption.

Celem prezentowanego tekstu jest ukazanie specyfiki rodziny adopcyjnej w kontekścieemocji, jakie towarzyszą jej w początkowej fazie kształtowania się rodzicielstwa adopcyjnego.Artykuł powstał w ramach projektu badawczego poświęconego konstruowaniu rodzicielstwaadopcyjnego. Opieram się tu głównie na danych empirycznych pochodzącychz obserwacji uczestniczącej, autoetnografii oraz na analizie literatury zastanej. Odwołującsię do koncepcji brikolażu i rozważając kwestie związane z rodzicielstwem adopcyjnym,poszukiwałam danych empirycznych różnymi ścieżkami – od wywiadów swobodnychprzez autoetnografię i obserwację uczestniczącą w nieformalnej grupie wsparcia dla osóbczekających na adopcję i rodzin adopcyjnych (co było główną inspiracją) po analizę blogówtematycznych związanych z adopcją.

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the adoption of the social networks by teaching candidates and their loneliness. With this purpose in mind, 133 students from education faculties were involved in this study. In the study, the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Social Networks Adoption Scale were applied to the students. After using the SPSS 18.0 program, the results from the scales were deduced using the Pearson Correlation, Independent t-Test, and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). A significant relationship between students’ scores of loneliness and the usage of online social networks was revealed. The conclusion is that the loneliness scores of the students increase according to the frequency students use social networks. In addition, it can be said that the loneliness situation of students and their adoption of social networks does not change according to the universities in which they study.

In countries where the institution of registered partnership has been introduced for persons of the same sex, disputes concerning the statutory regulation of this institution have been the subject of constitutional case law. The objections by applicants for constitutional review may take either of two opposite directions. The first is the conservative tendency, querying the admissibility of the institution of registered partnership as such, especially with regard to the constitutional status of marriage and the family. The second direction, which may be called innovative, seeks for removing the restrictions on rights and possibilities of the registered partners, usually with reference to the general principle of equal rights and the prohibition of discrimination. If the democratic legislator hedged his acceptance of the new institution with conditions preventing or restricting child adoption by registered partners, out of concern for the child’s well-being or on other grounds, sooner or later such restrictions will come up against criticism questioning their validity from the point of view of the national constitution or the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. In some situations, constitutional courts have acted substitutively for the positive legislator in removing such restrictions. There have been no applications to the Czech and Austrian constitutional courts against the introduction of the institution of registered partnership, presumably because the national constitutional orders of these countries – unlike the situation in Germany or Hungary – have no provisions for the special protection of marriage. The Czech judgment discussed in this article belongs to the innovative trend and is, in comparison with its counterparts in the constitutional judicature of Germany and Austria, a rather modest step on the road to making 2 child adoption easier for homosexuals: it sets aside the provision of the Registered Partnership Act of 2005 which has excluded individual adoption of a child by a person living in a registered partnership. The essence of the grounds for this decision boils down to the following: since the legislator admits, in exceptional cases, individual child adoption by an unmarried person regardless – according to the interpretation of the Constitutional Court – of his/her sexual orientation, even though the joint adoption of a child by a (heterosexual) married couple should be taken into consideration as a rule, then the legislator should not prohibit an individual child adoption only because the prospective adopter has entered into a registered partnership. “This statutory restriction will not stand in the light of human dignity as a fundamental objective value of humanity and the focal point of other fundamental rights. Actually, if it is based on the fact that a certain group of persons is excluded from a certain right solely owing to the fact that they have decided to enter into a registered partnership, it thus turns them into de facto ‘second-rank’ individuals and stigmatises them groundlessly in a certain manner, which evokes the idea of their inferiority…“ The author of this article observes that although the authors of the grounds for the judgment refer to adoptio naturam imitatur and child’s well-being as the two fundamental principles governing the law on adoption, yet they have failed to notice the provision of the Registered Partnership Act under review as a specific case of relevance of both principles. According to the prevalent opinion in the Polish doctrine on family law, a person’s manifest homosexuality has to be treated as an obstacle debarring him/her from the adoption of a child. In his dissenting opinion, Judge Vladimír Sládeček has contested the decision of the Constitutional Court as an instance of judicial activism: “What matters is not the essence of the case but rather the approach taken by the Constitutional Court […] it is primarily up to the democratically elected legislature whether and how it will regulate the issues of adoption by registered partners or adoptions by same-sex couples.“ As to the point of view of human dignity, he observes that “… the protection of human dignity focuses on protecting the differences arising from natural characteristics of the human being or created by their will or the social environment. The essence of the protection of human dignity results precisely in respecting these differences. In other words, the protection of human dignity consists not in protecting the rights or possibilities which some human beings do not have owing to their nature or due to a social situation, but rather in respecting the fact that they cannot have them. [...]. It is very difficult to accept the conclusion that the person who ‘formally’ does not take care of a child, which may be substantiated by objective reasons, lacks dignity.“

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.

The use of new technologies has brought many changes into consumer behaviour, especially into purchasing process. The aim of the article is to uncover the attitudes of different generations towards usage of new technologies in purchasing process and determine if the diffusion of innovative purchasing process is significantly different among different generations. The article presents the results of authors´ research of usage of new technologies in purchasing process, as well as attitudes towards it, among different age groups - Generation X, Y, Z and seniors. Results of hybrid research carried out by semi-structured interviews with 551 respondents show, that there are significant generational differences in all three components of attitude towards online purchase, which can be - due to its characteristics- considered the most complex use of new technologies in purchasing process. Results prove that the diffusion of innovation in the purchasing process is significantly influenced by the age group. With age the number of Innovators significantly drops and the percentage of Laggards rises. The ratio of those adopting “early” and “late” significantly changes according to age group as well. Majority of younger respondents are accepting the new technologies into purchasing process early (Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority). Middle-aged consumers accept the innovations proportionally - copying the Roger´s curve. Among seniors, the majority is “late” (Late Majority and Laggards).

The purpose of this paper is to explain the institution of designated adoption in Poland, with its specific procedure of preference for designated adoptive parents (e.g. natural parents’ relatives or the spouse of one of the parents). It summarises opinions on this issue presented by the main government institutions which have a significant impact on social policy in Poland, namely, the Children’s Ombudsman, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, the National Council of the Judiciary of Poland and the Bureau of Research attached to the Chancellery of Sejm. The paper also addresses the problem of child trafficking, which is associated with designated adoption. Prior to the entry into force of the recent amendment to the Family Code, designated adoption was admissible not only for a close family member of the natural parents, but in fact any person indicated by a biological parent had a right to adopt the child, which left a loophole for child trafficking. Under the new provisions the legal procedures for designated adoption by relatives of the birth parents will be facilitated, while other prospective adoptive parents will be able to apply only through the mediation services of an adoption agency.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wyjaśnienie instytucji adopcji ze wskazaniem, jej formy i treści, obejmującej osoby uprzywilejowane do przysposobienia, do których zalicza się krewnych rodziców dziecka oraz małżonka jednego z rodziców. Ukazane zostaną także stanowiska między innymi Rzecznika Praw Dziecka, Ministra Pracy i Polityki Społecznej, Krajowej Rady Sądownictwa, Biura Analiz Sejmowych w sprawach związanych z adopcją ze wskazaniem. Zwrócona zostanie również szczególna uwaga na handel dziećmi, z którym jest związana problematyka adopcji ze wskazaniem. Przed wejściem w życie nowelizacji kodeksu adopcja ze wskazaniem była możliwa nie tylko w stosunku do konkretnego kręgu osób, lecz także dla wszystkich tych, którzy zostali wskazani przez biologicznych rodziców dziecka. Jak wynika z nowych przepisów, w przypadku adopcji ze wskazaniem krewni rodziców będą mieli ułatwioną procedurę adopcyjną, natomiast pozostali zainteresowani będą mogli adoptować małoletnie dziecko tylko za pośrednictwem ośrodka adopcyjnego.
