The article addresses the problem of hope for success among adolescents growing up in migrant families. This issue is related to the problems of social work, family sociology, and psychology of human development. The knowledge of development opportunities for young people from migrant families may be of particular cognitive value for social workers who face the protective potential of the migrant family in practice. Parents’ departure leads to children becoming independent rapidly, and to family influence on the individual’s life becoming shorter. Many researchers deal with the problem of the negative consequences of migration separation for child development. Few works show the development opportunities and potential of people growing up in families that are spatially separated due to migration. The article describes a fragment of youth’s functioning who had to undertake new duties because of their parents’ departure, such as: taking over the care of their siblings, running their household, and looking after their grandparents with whom they live in the absence of their parents. To determine the level of hope for success among those young people, the Hope for Success Questionnaire by Mariola Łaguna, Jerzy Trzebiński, and Mariusz Zięba was used. The study covered 87 teenagers attending upper-secondary schools in Kujawy-Pomerania Province. The control group consisted of young people whose parents did not migrate abroad for economic reasons, while the criterion group consisted of adolescents growing up in disconnected families. Social workers’ activities include providing help to families. The knowledge of the specific functioning of migration families can help to better support such families. The article aims to discuss the issue of adolescents growing up in migrant families who, because of their parents’ economic migration, must face new responsibilities, often typical of an adult and inadequate for their developmental level.

The subject of the research presented in the article is the migrant family, defined in the subject literature as a “temporarily incomplete” family, that is characterized by structural disorganization. The study included 77 children in a long-term separation with one or both parents. The control consisted of 64 children brought up in families, in which there was no separation. Children were selected for this group intentionally, on the basis of demographic variables: age, sex and the place where the child was living. The projective drawing with instruction “My family” was used as the research tool. Statistical analysis and interpretation of the obtained results of the research compared the two groups of children as far as their readiness to communicate with their closest environment, indices of good and poor communication presented in the drawing, loneliness of the child in the picture and relations with the parent separated with the child for labor reasons and the one taking care of him were concerned. The obtained results show the occurrence of significant disturbances in the sphere of communication with the closest ones in the children from the families separated because of the labor migration as compared to the children in the control group.

The manner of functioning among family members who experience separation as a result of emigration shows that it is part of their biography, as a permanent element in the organisation of life. For the children of emigrants, the absence of a parent is an expression of the fact that the family’s functioning changed as a result of travelling abroad, depriving them of stability and predictability in family life. The remarks of emigrants’ family members remaining at home reflect the cyclical rhythm of everyday life, and indicate the day-to-day absence of the emigrant and their presence during holidays, which is a recipe for conflict. Emigration causes uncertainty. A fear of unexpected events, which occur without the presence of a parent who is simply unable to return on time, is characteristic of the children of emigrants. The feeling of insecurity and risk develops a kind of healing sense of temporariness, a sense that the state of separation will soon come to an end, which lowers the emotional tension of the family members remaining in Poland. The analysis presented in this article covers the findings of the author’s research, conducted using the biographical method on the everyday experiences of people whose reality was shaped by the hardships of migration separation. In many respects the research reveals that the beliefs of economic emigrants’ family members concerning the perception of separation is an experience that violates the imaginary image of a stable family.

The migrant family as a family type has not been often considered eligible for being granted support by welfare institutions due to their stable financial position and the ability to provide relatively satisfactory care to minor children by migrant parents. Never­theless, the subject literature and research reports explicitly indicate that the situation of migrant families and that of the children raised by them requires a considerable involvement on the part of social services, primarily for prevention purposes, which constitutes a significant aspect of the Polish social policy documents discussed in this article. Further forms of assi­stance and support to migrant families should be organised within the following structures: schools and other education and care establishments, large-scale social assistance as well as family legislation and the judicial system. It is only the co-operation and complementarity of these components that can assure the effectiveness of compliance with the current needs. The effective operation of the social services and support system is only possible if based on detailed cross-sectional studies enabling a reliable diagnosis of the phenomenon and of the problems that emerge. Therefore, what is an absolute necessity is co-operation accompanied by provision of a coherent support programme to migrant families. Moreover, another requi­rement for comprehensive support programme is also the necessity to disseminate knowledge on abandoning children by their parents and criminal responsibility that parents face for committing this offence. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness of this responsibility affects adversely the child's position and that of the parents themselves, who often neglect the procedure of assigning custody of minor children to other people in a situation of the parents' long-term stay abroad.

Rodzina migracyjna, jako typ rodziny, często nie była kwalifikowana do wsparcia przez ośrodki pomocy społecznej ze względu na stabilną sytuację finansową oraz w miarę zapew­nioną opiekę nad niepełnoletnimi dziećmi przez wyjeżdżających rodziców. Tym niemniej literatura przedmiotu i doniesienia z badań jednoznacznie wskazują, że sytuacja rodzin migracyjnych i wychowujących się w nich dzieci wymaga dużego zaangażowania ze strony służb społecznych, przede wszystkim w celach prewencyjnych, co stanowi ważny aspekt oma­wianych w artykule dokumentów polityki społecznej Polski. Dalsze formy pomocy oraz wspar­cie rodzin migracyjnych należy organizować w ramach następujących struktur: szkoły i innych placówek oświatowo-opiekuńczych, szeroko zakrojonej pomocy społecznej, a także ustawo­dawstwa rodzinnego i sądownictwa. Dzięki współpracy i komplementarności tych komponentów będzie można mówić o skuteczności i adekwatnym dostosowaniu pomocy do istniejących potrzeb. Efektywne działanie systemu opieki i wsparcia społeczno-prawnego jest możliwe wów­czas, gdy oparte jest na gruntownych przekrojowych badaniach naukowych, pozwalających na rzetelną diagnozę zjawiska oraz pojawiających się problemów. Współdziałanie jest więc nieodzowne, przy jednoczesnym spójnym programie pomocy rodzinom migracyjnym. Wymo­giem zaś kompleksowych działań jest również konieczność upowszechniania wiedzy na temat problemu porzucania dzieci i odpowiedzialności karnej rodziców za to przestępstwo. Nieświadomość owej odpowiedzialności negatywnie rzutuje na sytuację dziecka oraz samych rodziców, często zaniedbujących procedurę przekazania opieki prawnej nad dzieckiem innym osobom, w sytuacji ich długotrwałego wyjazdu poza granice kraju.
