Abstract
Abstract The research presented is a qualitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, with a multi-methodological structure. The sample is composed by 25 prospective adoptive parents couples (n = 50 subjects) who show an initial interest in adoption. The research results indicate that the representation by the prospective adoptive parents is a crucial one, in many cases characterized by a significant negativity or ambivalence as well as the child’s and his pre-adoptive history representation. So, it is important to deepen not only the topic of family of origin, but also its associated topics like child history and child history representation during the assessment and training of prospective adoptive couples.

Adoption Quarterly is an unparalleled forum for examining the issues of child care, of adoption as viewed from a lifespan perspective, and of the psychological and social meanings of the word "family." This international, multidisciplinary journal features conceptual and empirical work, commentaries, and book reviews from the fields of the social sciences, humanities, biological sciences, law, and social policy. In addition to examining ethical, biological, financial, social and psychological adoption issues, Adoption Quarterly addresses continuity in adoption issues that are important to both practitioners and researchers, such as: negotiation of birth and adoptive family contact.
