Abstract

This research was intended to learn about the life experiences of two families with adopted children. As for the methodology, it is a qualitative study with descriptive design approach, using as an information collection technique the in-depth interview and subsequent analysis of the content, against the psychosocial development of three children from the narratives of two families with children adopted between the 14, 9 and 6 years, supported from Erikson's psychosocial development theory , who sees society as a transformer of people and Jerome Bruner, who focuses on narrative as social interaction. It explains what psychosocial development is all about. Social skills and emotions are also included, thus embracing psychosocial development. Among the results should be highlighted an important characteristic that was corroborated with theories, as is the environment, as an influencer in development, bearing in mind that each stage is governed by a natural crisis where the child must integrate positively as it determines subsequent development; as described in the discussion, the negative factors in psychosocial development are related to neglect, and different types of abuse and late adoptions lacking meaningful relationships. As for the protective factors are the establishing affective bonds of love, trust, and providing a healthy environment surrounded by unconditional acceptance and respect, are tools that allow them to face their adversity.
