Adoption road to parenthood - from diagnosis to adoption.

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization problems with fertility are now referred to as a disease of civilization. In Poland, these problems have been diagnosed in approximately 20% of the marriages. The lack of offspring calls the different effects which can be seen at least on three levels: the individual level, family level system and at the social level. Adoption is becoming more and more "attractive" with the successive failures of alternative therapies, and is one of the two most popular forms of foster care (besides the foster family).
