Resumen
En el contexto actual de adopciones de niños y niñas, la disciplina de la psicología ocupa una posición privilegiada como discurso experto, tanto para los adultos/as que desean adoptar como desde las perspectivas institucionales públicas y privadas. Partiendo de nuestro trabajo de campo con profesionales en instituciones y espacios relacionados con la problemática, y con las familias que recurren a ellos, nos proponemos desde la antropología del parentesco abordar los sentidos asignados a la adopción, y los presupuestos o modelos sobre familia, p/maternidad y filiación que se proponen o discuten. Un interrogante central que articula nuestro trabajo es el lugar otorgado a los lazos de sangre y a las familias de origen, con sus consecuencias sociales y políticas. Sugerimos la existencia de un "saber compartido psi" que aparece como referencia autorizada a la hora de legitimar o deslegitimar prácticas y representaciones en el área. Intentaremos esbozar la idea de una convivencia actual de sentidos en transición en la cual prevalece (en consonancia con los valores de parentesco occidentales) la valorización del conocimiento de los orígenes en tanto "verdad biológica" y parte de la identidad, sin alentarse la continuidad de vínculos afectivos con más de un grupo de familia a la vez.
In the current context of child adoption, psychology occupies a privileged position as expert discourse, both for adults / people who wish to adopt and for public/private institutions. Based on our fieldwork with professionals and institutions in areas related to the problem and the families who turn to them, we propose to address the meanings assigned to adoption as well as the proposed or discussed pre-suppositions or models regarding family, parenthood and parentage, from the anthropology of kinship. The importance attributed to blood ties, families of origin, social and political consequences, is a central question that articulates our work. We suggest the existence of a "psy shared knowledge" that appears as an authorized referent at the moment of legitimizing or delegitimizing practices and representations in the field. We will try to outline the idea of a coexistence of meanings in transition, in which prevails (in line with the western values of kinship) the enhancement of the knowledge of the origins as a "biological truth" and a part of the identity, without encouragement of the maintaining of affective bonds with more than one family group at a time.
