“…However, those that were heard wished to be adopted. The children interviewed for the small-scale in-depth study of Berg (2010) (referred to earlier) were also generally positive about having been adopted.…”

“…A study of foster parents (n = 864) showed that about 20 per cent have considered adoption, and half of them have seriously considered it (Havik, 2007). The aforementioned small-scale study of adoptive parents (Berg, 2010) showed that they are very satisfied with the adoption.…”

“…The foster children fell clearly short of adoptees on all outcomes; school performance at 15 years, cognitive competence at 18 years, educational achievement and self-support capability in young adult years, also after adjustments for birth parent related confounders and age at placement in substitute care. (Vinnjerlung andHjern, 2011: 1902) Among the small number of Norwegian studies is that of Berg (2010). Based on case files and in-depth interviews with Norwegian adoptive parents of 13 children adopted without parental agreement from the child protection system, as well as six of the adopted children aged 17 plus, the study reports that children had varied challenges during their upbringing, in which two had big problems, four had some problems and seven had no problems.…”

“…Both these studies record that the young people themselves had a wide range of experiences and opinions about the positive but also negative aspects of adoption, and especially the regrets some had at having to lose all links with adult birth relatives and siblings (see Chapter 14). Based on a small qualitative study in Norway on families experiencing involuntary adoption from care, including interviews with six children that were adopted from care, Berg (2010) reports that children who were 17 or older at the time of the interviews said that they were fully aware that they were adopted, of the family they came from and why they had been adopted. All the children said that they were happy they had been adopted and that they believed they had had more opportunities and a better life in their new families than they would have had in their families of origin.…”

Barnevernet kan gjennomføre adopsjoner av fosterbarn uten biologiske foreldres samtykke. Dette representerer en betydelig utøvelse av statlig makt, og norsk rett krever saerlig tungtveiende grunner for å tillate adopsjon. Det er også sjelden slike adopsjoner gjøres i Norge. Artikkelen undersøker hvordan befolkningen vurderer adopsjon som barneverntiltak, og om de er på linje med politikerne og retten i dette spørsmålet. Vi har gjennomført en surveyundersøkelse til et representativt utvalg (n = 1000) av den norske befolkningen om synet på barnevernsadopsjon. Resultatene fra studien viser at befolkningen generelt synes å vaere positive til adopsjon som tiltak i barnevernet, og at politikerne synes å vaere på linje med befolkningen. Synet på verdien av biologiske bånd i befolkningen varierer med politisk orientering, alder, kjønn og inntekt, men majoriteten er av den oppfatning at fordelene med adopsjon trumfer verdien av biologiske bånd. Når det kommer til bruk av tvang, er befolkningen delt i sitt syn. Vi tror våre funn skyldes at et barneperspektiv har fått større plass i det norske samfunnet.
