Adoção no Brasil e Serviço Social: limites no desligamento institucional

Abstract

The present work discusses the limits found in the process of institutional dismissal of young people over 18 years of age in shelter institutions i nBrazil. Considering the scarce production of bibliographical material in the context of Social Work addressing the subject, we decided to elaborate a work that could not only inform, but also arouse the interest of students and professionals of Social Work for this theme so invisible and sometimes forgotten by society and the State. Regarding methodological procedures, this is an investigative research of a qualitative and quantitative nature, thus, a bibliographical research was used, from authors such as Faleiros (2004), Benetti (2016), Cardoso (2017 ), Iamamoto (1997), Rizzini (2004), among others. We also resorted to exploratory and documentary research with the help of statistical data and sources such as the National Council of Justice - CNJ (2022) and the National Survey on Child and Adolescent Shelter Services in times of Covid-19 (2020) . Based on a reflective and critical analysis of the contents addressed, it was possible to highlight the role of the State with its limits and obstacles insupporting young people leaving the adoption system after reaching the age of majority, where we expose the situation of extreme social vulnerability in which these young adults found themselves outside the host institution, with regard to the weakening of the rights to protection of these segments in Brazil.
