Sublimation as a part of waiting for adoption: widows of adopters in adoption support groups in the interior of Ceará. Vínculo [online]. 2021, vol.18, n.2, pp. 1-13.

The practice of adoption is old, changing over time due to social interests. Before care was for adopters, it would be up to them to manage adoptees; currently, under a comprehensive policy, it targets the adopter's interests. "New" thinking to the history of adoption. This study seeks to understand the emotions experienced by applicants for adoption during the process and in the formation of a new link. With qualitative methodology was used collections of psychology, social work and law, participated in the study three applicants for adoption. A semi-structured interview script was used. The information was analyzed through thematic content analysis. It was observed that in the interior of Ceará the action regarding adoption is being revisited. And the articulation carried out by adoption support groups, made up of adopters and multi-professional municipal teams, gains space. Such groups emerge as a welcome in front of the emotions faced by adopters, acting as an environment of experiential exchanges between those who have already conquered the royal child and those who still envision the ideal. Thus, such groups act as sublimative defensive mechanisms in the face of adopter anxieties.
