Abstract

This study aims at investigating various dimensions in adoptive families that have different family compositions (different-sex parents, same-sex parents, single parents) living in Belgium, France and Spain. Results suggest that non-conventional adoptive families rely more on resilience and social support in childcare, aspects that should be adressed in clinical work.
