RAYMUNDO, Helena. The bond and desire of couples and the repercussions on the adoption of the child. Constr. psicopedag. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.30, pp. 109-125. ISSN 1415-6954.  http://dx.doi.org/10.37388/CP2021/v29n30a09.

This paper is the result of a survey performed with couples who were enrolled in the adoption process in the Central Forum of São Paulo, Capital. It aimed to bring considerations that came from the narratives of these couples who expressed different levels of desire regarding the adoption of a child. The narratives were recorded during eight meetings in order to lead each participant to a subjective reflexion on the meaning of the adoption. Along with theoretical psychoanalitycal references, it was searched in Spivacow's work, the understanding of the processes of acceptance and legitimization of the desire of the other within the relationship between couples, according to the concepts of connection and validation. Based on Pichon-Rivière's bond theory this paper also aimed to establish the importance between the validation of the desire for parenthood and the correlation between the bond of the child, in special the adoptive one, and the implications in the behavioral and learning processes.

Keywords : desire; bond; connection; validation; adoption; learning.
