FEATURES OF THE STUDY OF MOTIVATIONAL AND RESOURCE COMPONENT OF SUBSTITUTE FORMS OF PARENTHOOD IN SWITZERLAND

Abstract

The problem of creating substitute forms of parenthood has not historically lost its relevance, but in times of war it is especially important, as the number of children deprived of parental care has significantly increased. The following questions are relevant: what factors contribute to the effectiveness of the reception? How to create the most favorable conditions for the development of children of different ages? What forms of substitute parenting are the most effective? How to determine the readiness of surrogate parents to create a family? The search for answers to these and many other questions was carried out by such scientists as: O. Bezpalko, S. Arkhipova, A. Kapska, O. Karpenko, I. Zvereva, N. Zaveriko; the problems of orphans were studied by V. Oslon, N. Tolstykh, A. Prikhozhan, V. Mukhina, J. Rajkus, R. Hughes, L. Volynets, the problems of foster families – G. Bevz, N. Maksimova, I. Pesha, J. Petrochko. But despite the thorough development of these issues, today there are extremely frequent cases of return of adolescent children from foster families and there is a problem of reluctance to create substitute forms of parenthood with adolescent children. Analyzing the functioning of the forms of substitute parenthood in the Swiss Confederation, it can be noted that there are almost no cases of return of children from substitute forms of parenthood and there is experience of successful creation of substitute forms of parenthood with adolescent children, and there are certain differences in the training of foster parents. Therefore, we consider it expedient to study the process of formation of the motivational and resource component of substitute parenthood in order to determine the positive experience of their functioning and its possible implementation in the native state. This article examines the peculiarities of studying the motivational and resource component of substitute forms of parenthood in the Swiss Confederation. It is noted that the issue of adoption of children by Swiss citizens in Switzerland is dealt with by special agencies approved by the federal government. Their list includes: Bureau genevois d’adoption (Geneva), Chaba Adozioni (Locarno), Chaba Adozioni, Fondation Enfants-Espoir, Mani per l’infanzia, PACH, Stiftung Ouvre tes mains / SOS Adoption. The article describes in detail the procedure for obtaining a certificate of conformity, which is an important step for creating a substitute form of parenthood. The study of the motivational and resource component of substitute parenthood in Switzerland involves a thorough check of the applicants’ suitability, including their health status (the Hague Adoption Convention (HAÜ), the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB) and the Federal Code). It is concluded that the thoroughness of each step on the way to creating a substitute form of parenthood is a prerequisite for its successful functioning.
