Abstract
Se analizan los discursos sobre las motivaciones que las MSPE (madres solteras por elección) aducen para optar por la adopción como vía de acceso a la maternidad. Estos discursos, producidos en entrevistas cualitativas y en otros contextos de interacción (foros de Internet, “kedadas”, grupos de amigas, etc.), han sido observados en el contexto de una investigación
etnográfica realizada en Madrid, Cataluña y Comunidad Valenciana durante los años 2008, 2009 y 2010. Los resultados revelan que las MSPE, para justificar su opción, recurren a argumentos alusivos a “la motivación de la solidaridad”. Se trata de una motivación que el conocimiento experto deslegitima, a pesar de lo cual se presenta bajo diversas formulaciones
en los discursos de las MSPE adoptantes, sobre todo porque expresa la especificidad de su opción frente a otras formas de acceso a la maternidad en solitario. Se examinan las tácticas que desarrollan para encuadrar esta motivación dentro de los límites de aceptabilidad establecidos por el mencionado conocimiento experto.
This paper analyzes the discourse on the motivations that SMC (Single Mothers by Choice) display in order to opt for nternational adoption as a path to single parenthood. These discourses, produced in qualitative interviews as well as in other contexts of interaction (Internet forums, kedadas or informal get-togethers organized online, female gatherings, etc.), have been subject to observation in the context of an ethnographic research conducted in Madrid, Catalonia, and Valencia (Spain) during 2008, 2009 and 2010. The results show that SMC claim different types of motivations for choosing this method to access motherhood, but they refer mainly to “motivation of solidarity”. Expert knowledge delegitimizes this type of motivation. Nevertheless, “motivation of solidarity” takes a variety of formulations in the discourse of adoptive SMC, particularly because it expresses the specificity of their choice over other forms of access to single motherhood. The developments of strategies to make this motivation fit within the limits of acceptability established by expert knowledge were examined.
