Abstract

This study aimed to discuss the national and international scientific production about the relations between marital relationships of parents and the experiences of the adoptive and biological parenthoods in heterosexual family arrangements. An integrative revision was conducted on the basis LILACS, PePSIC and SciELO (2000-2011). 22 articles had been recovered. One focus of the production was the adaptation and reorganization of the familiar dynamic to the coming of the new members. The studies highlight the potential repercussion of the coming of a new son on the marital and familiar dynamic, and emphasizes the bigger participation of the father in children's development. The differences and similarities between biological and adoptive parenthoods are brought, especially the individual histories of the parents as definers of the construction process of the marital relationship and the parenthood. It is concluded that the relations between these notions can help to understand not only the postmodern families, as their changes over time.
