The adopted family, with its particular features of multiculturalism, highlights the importance of the meanings attributed by each to words and behaviors, from which derives the need to work on the construction of shared meanings. The author, analyzing the different levels in which the difficulties of understanding between the adoptive parents and their children can be verified, suggests some clinical examples and reflections on the use of the Shared Reality Model in adoption cases, in addition to highlighting the usefulness of the reconstruction work of stories and identities of these minors.

Keywords: International adoption, narrative model, adoptive children, multiculturalism, identity building, shared meanings.
