Older children adoption is one matter among an entire context of profound changes in the concept of family. Older children adoption is the adoption of children over the age of two; such type of adoption is still highly disregarded by Brazilian adopters. By using theoretical documentary research methodology, we analysed the Brazilian law on older children adoption. Treating the impasses emerged from the construction of emotional links between parents and older children adoptees and the theoretical contributions psychology may adjoin to this establishing relationship.

Keywords : older children adoption; family; child and adolescent statute; psychology.
