Abstract

The paper describes an empirical study of socio-psychological preparedness of foster parents for taking a child into a family. The motivational and personal, cognitive and activity components that form the structure of socio-psychological readiness for foster parenting are considered. The analysis of the received data allows us to correctly organize the process of support for a foster family.
