Title: SÚVIS ADOPTÍVNEHO DOJČENIA A VZŤAHU MATKA – DIEŤA Z POHĽADU MATKY
Author: SOŇA ONDRUŠOVÁ, MARIANNA STANČEKOVÁ, DOROTA KIARA BAŇOVÁ

Abstract: CONNECTION BETWEEN ADOPTIVE BREASTFEEDING AND MOTHER-CHILD RELATIONSHIP FROM THE MOTHER’S PERSPECTIVE
Abstract: Fifteen female respondents aged 35 to 49 with adoptive children aged six months to sixteen years took part in this qualitative study. The respondents were contacted through lactation counselors at civil association Mamila and through Facebook. Data were collected using a purposely designed questionnaire containing closed questions about mother and child and open-ended questions concerning participants’ experiences with adoptive breastfeeding. The participants perceived the experience of adoptive breastfeeding mostly positively, as something that significantly affected the relationship with their child, but also the relationship of adoptive fathers with children, feelings toward children and children’s behaviour. The authors' findings point out that adoptive breastfeeding can be a significant contribution to building a relationship between adoptive parents and their children. They can also provide information to people working with families with adoptive children, as well as inspiration and motivation for future adoptive mothers.
