Abstract

Abstract This qualitative study explores the perceptions of adoption social workers in Greece regarding same-sex couples’ right to adopt. All 15 participants stressed that they always take the child’s best interest into consideration when assessing prospective parents; however, very different interpretations were evident regarding what this best-interest principle entails if a same-sex couple were to be the prospective adoptive parents. Four participants expressed their full support for same-sex adoption, four were firmly against it, while the rest focused on expressing their reservations. Implications for social work practice and social work education are discussed.

希腊收养社会工作者对同性伴侣收养权的看法

摘要这项定性研究探讨了希腊收养社会工作者对同性伴侣收养权的看法。所有15名参与者都强调，在评估未来的父母时，他们总是考虑到孩子的最大利益；然而，如果同性伴侣是未来的养父母，那么对于这一最佳利益原则的含义，显然有着截然不同的解释。四名参与者表示完全支持同性收养，四名参与者坚决反对，其余参与者则集中表达了他们的保留意见。讨论了对社会工作实践和社会工作教育的启示。
