This work aims to identify some indicators of good parenting which are shared by social workers (psychologists and social workers) and couples of candidates for adoption or who have just adopted a child. The objective of this experience has been, first, to give operators and couples an opportunity to take into account the components of parenting considered most important for "success" of an adoption. At the same time, that experience intended to identify evaluation criteria "shared" between the "social actors" involved in the path adopted; those criteria could be used for the evaluation of candidatescouples for adoption, and/or monitoring of the parenting skills of couples who have already embarked on that path.

Keywords: Children, parenting, adoption, assessment.
