Close relationships in foster families
SMÍŠKOVÁ, Eliška
The bachelor thesis deals with the mapping of close relationships in a foster family. It tries primarily to approach the experience within the foster family from the point of view of the foster mother. The aim of the practical part is to find out how foster mothers perceive and experience relationships in the family. It brings us the motivation of the foster parents, the arrival of the child in the new family and its adaptation in it, and maps the sibling relations, the partnership relationship and the related raising of the children. For my research I have chosen the qualitative method, where data was collected by the semi-structured interviews from foster carers who either perform short-term care or long-term care, including family care, is selected. After that the case study of individual foster families are created and the data obtained is processed using the card unloading method. The results of the research show us two types of experience of the foster child in the family, which are related with the motivation, the partnership, the sibling relationship and child raising. The first type of family accepts parental identity against the child, and the other does not accept it. The results confirm more stable partnership after the arrival of the foster child, as well as the motivation to help the child with the other needs of the individual families and the care from the siblings.
