Currently, there is an acute problem of social protection of children left without parental care. Placement of a child in a foster family is associated with many different risks of a socio-psychological and medical nature, which can have a negative impact on the effectiveness of parenting and the mental health of children. In this regard, the implementation of psychological and pedagogical support for foster families becomes priority to create conditions for effective family education of foster children and careful selection of candidates for foster parents.

As part of the development of tools for sociopsychological assessment of prospective foster parents, we conducted a factorization of the array of data obtained with a set of diagnostic techniques and identified the contribution of each component to the success of foster care. Invariant and variant characteristics of successful foster mothers are highlighted (N=128).Foster mothers were selected based on the expert opinion of the professional community and trained as coaches of foster families. It is shown that successful foster mothers have a number of characteristics that allow them to raise foster children over a long period of time. These characteristics should be considered as criteria for selecting potential reliable guardians. Among the invariant characteristics are: the viability of family, the dominance of motivation of altruism and self-realization in children, high levels of emotion management, extroversion, consciousness, emotional stability, parental competence. The variant characteristics are as follows: the experience of foster parenting, the intensity of motivation aimed at resolving family and personal crises, ‘replacing’ a child, solving demographic problems, filling an empty nest, as well as the level of emotional intelligence and its components (except emotion managment); personality traits (level of compliance, openness to experience); altruistic investment. The invariant-variant approach enables us to address the sociopsychological portrait of the foster mother in its integrity.

<p>The results of a study examining the motivations behind the admission of children without parental care (N=7,150 potential and actual substitute parents) from challenging categories—such as siblings, adolescents, children with disabilities, and those with high individual needs—into various forms of family arrangements (adoption, foster care, and guardianship) are presented. This research employs a resource-based approach, which views motivation as a resource for fulfilling personal and family needs. The findings indicate that the majority of informants are reluctant to accept children from these challenging categories, primarily due to associated difficulties (such as character traits, learning issues, and health problems) and fears (including concerns about heredity, developmental disorders, and doubts regarding their own competence). Adoptive parents tend to exhibit a higher level of sufficient resource motivation, while guardians and foster parents are often more focused on addressing family crises and financial challenges. The most motivated candidates are typically from intact families, where both spouses formalize their commitment to parenthood. Training in the Supportive Parenting Resource (SPR) program enhances parents' sufficient resource motivation while simultaneously reducing insufficient motivation, although it may increase levels of fears and concerns. After completing the program, candidates are more likely to transition to paid forms of guardianship.</p>
