The objective of the thesis is to determine the course of the adoption process and the chances for success in the case of couples as compared to individuals. A sub-objective was to determine the demands encountered during the adoption process and the course of the adoption process when the child?s mother is at liberty and the father is in prison. The thesis consists of two main sections. The empirical section presents a variety of professional sources describing and clarifying the basic terminology. It includes a discussion of the relevant legislation, different types of adoption and the adoption process, foster families, and factors that influence the chances of adopting. The empirical section is focused on determining the actual situation with regard to adoption. It was prepared using a questionnaire survey. The collected data was subsequently organised into tables and graphs and supplemented with appropriate commentaries. The conclusions from the survey show that married couples have the greatest chance of successfully adopting a child. The applicants consider the entire process to be extremely demanding from the psychological perspective. Interviews were also used to examine situations when the biological father is in prison and the majority of mothers offer their child for adoption without the father?s consent. The findings from the interviews are described in a separate chapter of the empirical section. The results from the empirical section have been used to formulate specific recommended measures addressing the relevant legislation, laws and the approach that social workers use towards clients. The primary contribution of this thesis is the fact that it confirms the preliminary assumptions and provides evidence that changes must be made within the field of adoption.
