In this article, because of socio-philosophical reflection, the problems of the transformation of modern society and the family's traditional institution crisis are substantiated, determined by reasons not only of a socio-economic and sociopolitical nature but also have socio-psychological and socio-medical grounds. This allowed us to consider the problems proposed in the article, which are associated with social technologies' specifics for interacting with a family with adopted children. As a result of the statistical data analysis, the authors conclude that the number of orphans is steadily growing. Still, the number of foster families willing to take a child into their own family is decreasing. Having conducted a sociological survey among foster families, the authors identified the problems a family faces that find itself in a foster situation. This made it possible to offer specific technologies for working with a foster family in this situation.
