摘要：The changes on the family concept in Spain have also affected the adoption. It could be underlined the opening and social recognition of the adoptive family, in contrast with the traditional obscurantism and excessive secrecy. To abandon the anonymity and to improve the viability of these families, revealing the child about their adoptive condition and their origin has a capital importance. So this process has been, among others, the main topic of our researching (of qualitative nature) of seven andalusian families (four of national adoption and three internationals), that adopted their child between 1996 and 2000. First we have studied the information that the adoptive families have about their child and other aspects related to when, how and who was involved in the revealing process. Following to this, we have described the reactions of the adopted child and, finally, the paternal opinions before the possibility of their child being interested in investigating and meet their origins.
