In my thesis I deal with temporary foster care where the aim of the thesis is to analyse the process of child's introduction and transition into the care of future adoptive parents and to map out the experience and opinions of both future adoptive and temporary foster parents. The partial objective is to identify the opportunities and risks of this process, focusing on the subjective experience of the research participants. In order to reach the set target a method of qualitative research was chosen, namely an interview, specifically the technique of an unstructured interview. The research was divided into two parts. In the first part of the research interviews were conducted with future adoptive parents and in the second part with temporary foster parents who had at least two children in their care. For evaluation of results a cluster analysis was used. The results of the research show that future adoptive parents have considerable reservations about the process of getting acquainted with the child; their experience regarding the actual transition of the child into their care vary. Moreover they perceive the impact of this process on the child rather negatively. Further, the research shows that most temporary foster parents do not have a negative experience with introduction and transition of the child into the care of future adoptive parents. However, the whole research has revealed many pitfalls in this process. Intended merit of this thesis lies in the fact that the results can be used as a source of information for social workers, prospective adoptive parents, temporary foster parents and for staff of support organizations or general public.
