- Abstract
This case study was aimed at understanding the experience of adoptive parenthood according to a couple with biological children. A couple that already had two biological daughters when they decided to adopt a two-month-old child participated in the research. The instrument used for data collection was the in-depth interview. Based on the results, it could be highlighted that the act of adoption was loaded with intense emotional significance for the couple, especially learning how to "be a mother" through social affiliation, as a different experience when compared to the previous experience of biological motherhood.
