Adoption has increased extraordinarily in the last few years and has become one of the most common ways of shaping the new family environment. However, and as we shall see in the following pages, out of the two modalities, international adoption is the one that has increased the most. Together with this increase new family demands have appeared. At first they mainly focused on the information of the processes and have now asked for our services. The goal of our work is to emphasise these new demands that go with the pre and post adoption moments and comment on some initiatives in this regard. With the aim of giving a global image, we shall begin by collecting the requirements and phases from the beginning of the process in order to analyse its characteristics. We also want to offer some guidance and family training proposals that are carried out nowadays.
