Resumo
The foster family care is a public policy aimed at providing temporary shelter for children and
adolescents who have been removed from their families due to a serious threat or violation of
rights. It is a service executed within the framework of the Unified Social Assistance System
(Sistema Único de Assistência Social - SUAS), involving families that are selected and trained
by a technical team to provide care for children and adolescents under protective measures. The
research analyzed the interracial relations that permeate the foster family care in the Federal
District, investigating how the foster families, with the technical team support, deal with doubts
and conflicts that may arise due to racial differences between family members and the fostered
child or adolescent. The research process included a literature review on child and adolescent
foster care, racism, and the construction of black identity, and data collection was conducted at
Aconchego, the institution responsible for the execution of the foster family care in the Federal
District. The research at Aconchegp involved gathering racial profile data of the children and
adolescents in foster care and the foster families through heteroidentification committees, as
well as conducting semi-structured interviews with service participants and analyzing workflow
processes. The data collected were analyzed using a qualitative approach, and the interview
transcripts were examined based on Bardin's Content Analysis methodology (2002). As a result,
it was found that 60% of the children in foster care were negro, 36% of whom were black, while
only 31% of the caregivers of the foster families were negro, 12% of whom were black. The
technical team at Aconchego was also mostly white. This result confirms the historical
asymmetries between white and black people in Brazil, demonstrating that in foster care
services, black people also occupy positions of greater vulnerability, while white people remain
in positions of privilege, even when playing a role of care and protection. In the interviews with
the foster families, a general lack of resources and knowledge was observed to deal with
situations of racism experienced by the children, as well as to assist them in their process of
constructing their racial identity. On the other hand, in the interviews conducted with the
technical team, a good level of critical racial literacy was observed.
