What does a child or adolescent know about their foster care? What memories do they have of their past? And what about their future life, what paths do they imagine following? The video Entrelaços presents narratives from 18 children and adolescents about their experiences after being removed from their family of origin (due to rights violation), the temporary and exceptional foster care in a foster home and their possibilities for the future: family reintegration or placement in a family through adoption. The video was produced by Aconchego with the support of Criança Esperança from Rede Globo, and produced by Ara Filmes. The material for the production was captured over the course of 6 thematic workshops with children and adolescents aged 9 to 17 years old, in the process of adoption. The proposal was to listen carefully to these subjects about adoption, opening doors for their protagonism in the processes of choice and decision, understanding that adoption is an important part of the entire process of forming a new family. The children and adolescents were referred by the Children and Youth Court of the Federal District with the support of the Shelter Services: Casa Batuíra; Casa de Ismael; Casa do Caminho; Irmão Áureo; Lar de São José and Nosso Lar, all from the Federal District. Our gratitude to all! We also thank Alexandre, Iago and Helena from Ara Filmes, for the delicacy in capturing the images and the careful dialogue with these boys and girls. Aconchego Team
