Abstract The Mixed-Bank Program (Quebec, Canada) is based on concurrent planning principles. While the primary goal of this placement is reunification of the child with their birth parents, the low probability of this happening calls for simultaneously planning for an alternative solution, such as adoption. As a result, foster-to-adopt families have to deal with the uncertainty of the adoptability of the child and having no legal status nor control over the situation. In a qualitative study focusing on understanding how foster families from the Mixed-Bank Program develop the sense of being the parent of the child they care for, 25 semi-structured interviews with foster parents from 20 different families were conducted. As part of grounded theory methodology, a typology of profiles according to the level of uncertainty was constructed: (1) experience of certainty, (2) experience of momentary uncertainty, and (3) chronic uncertainty. This article presents these profiles and discusses the following challenges: the willingness to settle for permanence without adoption in all profiles, the link between the level of uncertainty and the assiduity of birth parents to supervised visits with the child, and the lack of power and control over the fulfillment of the goal of having or completing a family.

作为一个寄养到收养的父母：（非）确定性的经历及其对作为父母的感觉的影响

摘要 混合银行计划（加拿大魁北克省）基于并行规划原则。虽然这种安置的主要目标是让孩子与其亲生父母团聚，但这种情况发生的可能性很小，因此需要同时规划替代解决方案，例如收养。因此，寄养家庭不得不应对孩子能否被领养的不确定性，以及没有法律地位，也无法控制这种情况。在一项定性研究中，重点了解混合银行计划的寄养家庭如何培养成为他们所照顾孩子的父母的感觉，对来自 20 个不同家庭的寄养父母进行了 25 次半结构化访谈。作为扎根理论方法的一部分，根据不确定性水平构建了一个轮廓类型：(1) 确定性的经验，(2) 暂时不确定性的经验，以及 (3) 长期不确定性的经验。本文介绍了这些概况并讨论了以下挑战：在所有概况中都愿意在不收养的情况下接受永久居留、不确定程度与亲生父母对监督探访孩子的勤勉程度之间的联系，以及缺乏权力和控制权的意愿。 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?超过实现拥有或完成家庭的目标。
