RESUMOO presente trabalho objetivou conhecer o processo de adoção em famílias brasileiras homoafetivas cuja prole foi advinda da adoção legal. A pesquisa qualitativa foi desenvolvida por meio de depoimentos de pares homoafetivos, enviados pela internet, a partir de algumas questões disparadoras. Foram selecionadas para este estudo quatro famílias que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, calcados nos objetivos. Quanto aos resultados, apenas em uma delas os parceiros conseguiram adotar de forma conjunta. No que se refere ao perfil da criança desejada, observou-se bastante flexibilidade em relação ao sexo, idade e cor. A convivência inicial foi marcada por dificuldades de adaptação, porém na atualidade é significada como num estágio de superação das dificuldades. As trocas de ensinamentos e a aceitação da autoridade dos pais ocorreram simultaneamente ao estabelecimento e fortalecimento dos vínculos afetivos. Conclui-se que os sujeitos passaram por um processo de adaptação familiar semelhante ao já verificado em outros estudos sobre adoção de crianças maiores e que a orientação sexual dos pais exerceu pouca influência no processo de formação das famílias.Palavras-chave: adoção; famílias homoafetivas; ambiente social. ABSTRACT Adoptive by Homosexual Couples: Study of the Process and Meaning for Families PlayersChanges in marital ties and parenthood have triggered new and emerging family structures, such as homosexual families with adopted children. This body of work seeks to understand the development process of Brazilian families composed by homosexual parents with adoptive children. A qualitative research was collected through testimonials of homosexual couples over the Internet -they were each provided with a thorough guide. Four families were chosen which fit each and every criteria of inclusion and exclusion as being homosexual couples with established relationships seeking legal adoption. Of the four homosexual couples chosen, only one successfully adopted a child by both partners, representing ¼ of this adoption case carried out in the whole country. There was a flexibility regarding the profile of the desired child to be adopted. Acquaintanceship was established through terms converging in the difficulties of the whole family's adaptation process. Nowadays, the relationship is established overcoming the initial adversities. The exchange of experiences and parent authority perception happen simultaneously as ties of affection strengthen. It establishes that the adoption process in these families presents similar aspects to the traditional adoption tardive. Parents' sexual orientation had little or no relevant influence on the children. It is more relevant to the families' environment social prejudice and juridical questions and issues than pedagogical ones.Keywords: adoption; homosexual family; involved process; social environment.
