收養人的選擇:照片與健康

Adoptive Parents' Choice: Photo and Health

摘要


在收養實務工作中,準收養父母總希望在媒親前,看到孩子照片,以助選擇。收出養媒合A機構,多年以來,認為提供照片是某種形式的挑選,故一直沒有開放。隨著時間的轉變,機構內對於看照片有不同的聲音。於是想知道從A機構收養的國內父母,當初收養媒合的經歷,尤其是對於看照片的意義;以及對A機構不提供照片的看法;若提供照片,是否願意鬆動當初所設定的收養條件,願意考慮收養特殊需求的孩子。共有9位收養人參加焦點團體訪談,6位女性和3位男性,其中一對是夫妻,年齡在43到53歲之間。焦點團體執行當時,他們的孩子年齡為2到7歲,收養孩子時間從1年多到7年。研究結果發現,在媒親階段,收養人最在乎的是孩子是否健康,看照片只是收集健康資訊的一個方法,希望能夠選到一個健康的孩子。回溯過去,孩子對於收養人們而言,不再是陌生人,而是親密的家人,對於看照片的態度,以及選擇孩子條件有所改變。社會工作在媒合階段的關鍵工作內容,以及後續工作方向,皆包含在本文討論的議題內。

The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand the decision-making processes among 9 adoptive parents when considering available children without seeing the child's photos in advance during the matching stage. The 9 participants were 6 mothers, and 3 fathers who backtracking their matching experience in a focus group. They all have adopted children from a specific adoption agency, named agency A in this paper. Not surprising, the optimal preference of these adoptive parents were healthy children. In order to check the child's health, all of them were looking forward to reviewing children' photos in advance. However, the policy of agency A doesn't provide children photos in the matching process. Adoptive parents shared why they wanted to adopt healthy children, the meaning of reviewing children's photos, and how they have been changed during the process. Suggestions to adoption agencies in matching stages are discussed in this study. The article concludes that social workers involved in adoptions should accept the adoptive parents' psychological needs of reviewing children' health.
