Abstract:
The adoption isn't just the satisfaction of a desire to be a father and a mother. It's
about getting a father, a mother and a home to call your own. It's the joy of being part
of a family. This research aims to analyze the adoption of black minors in view of the
Statute of Children and Adolescents. The methodology used was a bibliographic
search, realized in jurisprudential, doctrinal sources and also scientific texts made
available on the internet. Every child and adolescent has the right to have a home
and a family that welcomes, cares for, and provides them with: education, leisure,
health, housing, food and socialization. However, it is observed that black children
and adolescents who are outside the Family Power, are often denied these rights.
Prejudice and racism have defined the future of many children and adolescents.
Perceive that a list of applicants for adoption is larger than the children to be
adopted. In this context, the question arises: Why? What's the problem? It is
concluded that the biggest problem is prejudice and racism. Many children and
adolescents living in shelters are suffering because of the color of their skin or race,
leaving a disappointment in their lives. What should be relevant for a couple to
choose a child or adolescent should be empathy, affection and a desire to love above
color or race, and thus be able to form the long-dreamed family.
