Adoption in France has changed a lot. Today, 65% of the children concerned are children with special needs. That is to say that a third of them are adopted after the age of 5, and a quarter are affected by a pathology. If raising a child is a challenge in itself, this type of adoption is a gamble. A gamble on the future, for children who sometimes have a traumatic past, physical or psychological disorders, or who are inseparable from their siblings… Complex adoptions, sometimes difficult, but rich and surprising family stories, which parents and children agreed to tell Olivier Delacroix. Sylvie adopted a little girl aged 9 in Russia 13 years ago. Knowing nothing about the child's past, Sylvie later discovered that she had serious psychological after-effects. Between the adoptive mother and her daughter, the relationship quickly became conflictual, even impossible. In 2010, Claire and François went to Colombia to adopt two brothers, who had been abandoned by their mother. Aged 5 and 7, the children returned to France with their past. It would take many months for the eldest of the two boys to finally agree to recognize Claire and François as his new parents. Anne-Valérie and Philippe were already parents of 4 children when they decided to adopt a little girl, then a little boy, both suffering from Down syndrome. A total commitment for the couple. For two years, Anne-Valérie was forced to constantly hold a child subject to violent anxiety attacks. When Cécile's sister died giving birth to her son Jérôme, alone in a hotel room in the United States, the child was taken in as part of a shared family guardianship. Only 19 years old at the time, Cécile made a posthumous promise to her older sister to be on the front line to watch over little Jérôme, a child who would be raised by no less than two mothers and three fathers.
