Abstract(s)
Esta investigação teve como objetivo compreender as dinâmicas de coparentalidade em
famílias heteroparentais em Portugal (Estudo 1) e em famílias homoparentais no Brasil (Estudo
2), com filhos entre os 4 e os 18 anos, de acordo com o modelo da estrutura interna e contexto
ecológico da coparentalidade de Feinberg. Foi utilizada uma análise qualitativa através do
método da análise temática com um total de nove entrevistas: quatro a famílias heteroparentais
em Portugal (Estudo 1) e cinco a famílias homoparentais (três famílias constituídas por duas
mães e duas famílias constituídas por dois pais) no Brasil (Estudo 2). Foram realizadas três
entrevistas individuais e uma em casal no estudo 1, e quatro em casal e uma individual no estudo
2. Observou-se que, no início do projeto de parentalidade, existe a tentativa anterior e/ou
simultânea da parentalidade biológica face à parentalidade adotiva no estudo 1, enquanto que
no estudo 2, ainda que ponderada, é a parentalidade adotiva a escolhida. Nas dinâmicas de
coparentalidade, no estudo 1, os participantes parecem apresentar um menor suporte coparental,
uma divisão menos satisfatória nas práticas parentais (com maior encargo para as mães
heterossexuais) e uma gestão familiar conjunta com alguns conflitos (hostilidade),
contrariamente ao estudo 2. A existência de desacordos e a forma de resolução dos mesmos
parece ser semelhante em ambos os estudos. Foi possível observar particularidades nas famílias
homoparentais como a interseção da identidade sexual e parental, e o balanço positivo do
confronto entre a expectativa pré-adoção e a experiência da parentalidade adotiva
This research aimed to understand the dynamics of co-parenting in heteroparental families in Portugal (Study 1) and in homoparental families in Brazil (Study 2), with children aged between 4 and 18 years old, according to Feinberg's model of internal structure and ecological context of co-parenting. A qualitative analysis through the thematic analysis method was used with a total of nine interviews: four from heteroparental families in Portugal (Study 1) and five from homoparental families (three families consisting of two mothers and two families consisting of two fathers) in Brazil (Study 2). Three individual and one couple interview were conducted out in Study 1, and four couple and one individual interview in Study 2. It was observed that, at the beginning of the parenthood project, there is a previous and/or simultaneous attempt of biological parenthood versus adoptive parenthood in Study 1, while in Study 2, although thoughtful, it is the adoptive parenthood that is chosen. In the dynamics of co-parenting, in study 1, the participants seemed to show less co-parental support, a less satisfactory division in parenting practices (with a greater burden for heterosexual mothers) and a joint family management with some conflicts (hostility), contrary to study 2. The existence of disagreements and the way of resolving them seemed to be similar in both studies. It was possible to observe particularities in homoparental families such as the intersection of sexual and parental identity, and the positive balance of the confrontation between pre-adoption expectations and the experience of adoptive parenthood
