FAMILY ADAPTATION TO NEW SOCIAL SITUATION OF DEVELOPMENT WITH ADOPTIVE CHILDREN

Abstract

The article is devoted to the
problem of family adaptation to new social situation
of development with adoptive children.
It was found out, that one of the most significant
factors, which determine the adaptation
process, is psychological readiness of adoptive
parents to keep a child. Psychological readiness
includes psychology-pedagogical competence
in children treatment issues, adequate cognitive
image of a child (psychological anamnesis,
information about relatives and friends, individual
and personal characteristics), emotional
readiness (willing to overcome the difficulties,
emotional stability, tolerance to deviant behaviour,
empathy, ability to focus on childs interests).
