In Brazil, the foster family is a public policy with the role of ensuring temporary care and protection for children and adolescents with neglected rights. After judicial intervention, these boys and girls leave the violating environment and go to a non-adoptive family, which will support them in the process of family reunification. However, there is a lack of structured scientific instruments to support decision-making regarding return. This study aims, through the use of an instrument adapted for the foster care system, the SARP, to evaluate the quality of relationships between children and their guardians, in two cases, with the aim of reflecting on decision-making regarding reunification. The discussion of the cases was mainly based on authors from psychoanalysis and developmental psychology. As a result, the need for greater investment in inclusive public policies to support the reception context was observed, as well as in instruments able to support decision-making. It is concluded that the challenge of prioritizing consistent assessments in the context of family care remains.
