    Abstract

    In the present paper we put forward a framework for working with the Internal, Family and Systemic (IFS) issues in Adoption for thinking about the transitions to adoptive parenthood. Our framework grounded in a systemic perspective recognises the complex and dynamic interplay of the intrapsychic and interpersonal forces that impact upon prospective adopters, the child, their extended family systems and the professionals who are involved in the process. Our paper ends with an IFS illustrative case study and Family Map.
