This study aimed to understand the perceptions about the dissolution of adoption by psychology and social service professionals who mediated the return of children/adolescents to foster care after adoption. It was a qualitative, exploratory study with eight professionals from different districts and foster care institutions in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. A semi-structured interview was used and the results highlighted four themes: 1) terminologies, revealing that no nomenclature adequately covers the phenomenon; 2) perception about people who have given up on adoption, indicating that poorly elaborated experiences of infertility and the search for the ideal child contribute to cases of dissolution of adoption; 3) perceptions about children/adolescents who returned to care, highlighting self-blame, abandonment and regression; and 4) perceptions about the role of professionals, involving the need for team training/qualification. Understanding the perspective of professionals is essential for planning future interventions and seeking to prevent adoption dissolutions.
