The primary goal of the following thesis it to map and analyze some institutions and myths that aggrandized the emergency and the litigation of the "ready-adoption" practice. By "ready-adoption" we connote that adoption solicitations arrived at the Childhood and Youth Bureau as a finished fact, in other words, the child in question for adoption is already found under the guard of those who requested the adoption. This measure is based on what we call a "tripod system" composed of: the mother who is giving the child up for adoption, the adopting parents and a group of specialists that include psychologists and social workers that ratify such relationship. The sample is composed of tens "ready-adoption" cases of which five are under the Minors Code and five under the Child and Adolescent Statute. Foucault's historical genealogy, the tolls of Institutionalized Analysis as well as the Analysis and Order of Orlandi's and Foucault's discourses, were the prioritized methods used. These analyses allowed for evidencing that the women who give their children up for adoption are poor, young, single maidservants. Those who adopt are, in majority, legally married, economically active and have children that do not keep parenting attachments with the biological mother. The technical findings have placed responsibility and autonomy of delivering the child on the poor mother, therefore functioning as instruments that produce and support subjectivity, such as " unreasonable-mother". In short, the analyses allowed us to conclude that discourses from specialists far from affirming the inefficacy of public politics as co-authors of the destitution of the family power, it actually affirms "ready-adoption" as a public practice, in other words, an alternative solution to the poor citizenship circumstances.
