The research aims to reflect on the affective partner processes and subjectivity of subjects in late adoption. The question that guides the present research is: What are the main elements that constitute the subjectivity in the affective relationship in late adoption? This was a qualitative investigation based on research in articles and data from the National Council of Justice (CNJ). It is described in the literature that late adoption is very present both in Brazilian society and in Goiás, although hidden and denied by these, as the result of a complex set of factors, mainly social abandonment. Noting the frightening growth of these children and adolescents in shelters, the National Council of Justice created the National Registry of Adoption (CNA) and National Registry of Accepted Children and Adolescents (CNCA), so that the Public order to direct efforts in the construction of policies for this demand of society. The results showed that there are more families in the registers than children and adolescents available, however, in view of a culture of requirements for light-skinned children under the age of three and females, we can note the increase in the number of children institutionalized children. It is concluded that in the subjective relations that occur due to the greater age of the children in late adoption, in which both parents and children must live in a new beginning in the phases of adaptation and experience of these attachment relationships. Still in the bibliographic review we had access to studies that emphasize the need to reflect on the return in which these children live; the problem of identity arising from their history of abandonment and the construction of attachment relationships that must subsidize this new (re) beginning.
