Resumo
Foster care is a type of care intended for temporary care for children and adolescents who are living away from their family. This study’s aim is to investigate and analyze the relationships built between foster family and children. Therefore, we conducted semi-structured interviews in three host families, in addition to the social worker and the psychologist responsible for monitoring the program's actions. The data was submitted to Bardin content analysis method. The results showed that the participants considered the experience a positive one, usually associated with the aspect of giving aid to helpless children. The study also revealed that for the foster family, the fostering experience can also have a positive aspect as in living together as a family and their efforts in providing the care that it believes is necessary, referencing the socially widespread models of maternity and paternity. The fostering experience is also noteworthy because it presents possibilities for building relations of affection and reference for those who are taken in, although inserted in a dimension of temporariness. The studies aimed to deepen into this theme are of great importance in order to contribute to the theoretical study on care practices for children and adolescents. Moreover, it is believed that such studies could support the development of more effective public policies that consider the particularities and the plurality of the public attended, becoming thus a further guarantee instrument and promotion of human rights.
