Los cambios experimentados en Espa??a en el concepto de familia tambi??n han afectado a la adopci??n. Cabe destacar la gran apertura y reconocimiento social que, frente al oscurantismo y secretismo tradicionales, hoy tiene la familia adoptiva. Para el abandono de este anonimato y la viabilidad de estas familias, la revelaci??n a los hijos de su condici??n de adoptados y sus or??genes reviste una importancia fundamental. De ah?? que en nuestra investigaci??n (de naturaleza cualitativa), realizada sobre siete familias andaluzas (cuatro de adopci??n nacional y tres de internacional), que adoptaron entre los a??os 1996 y 2000, se haya profundizado en los elementos involucrados en este proceso. En primer lugar, se ha estudiado la naturaleza de la informaci??n que las familias adoptivas tienen de sus hijos y otros aspectos relacionados con el cu??ndo, el c??mo y el qui??n de la revelaci??n. A continuaci??n, se recogen las reacciones de los adoptados y, finalmente, las posiciones paternales ante la posibilidad de que sus hijos se muestren interesados por indagar y encontrarse con sus or??genes.The changes on the family concept in Spain have also affected the adoption. It could be underlined the opening\udand social recognition of the adoptive family, in contrast with the traditional obscurantism and excessive\udsecrecy. To abandon the anonymity and to improve the viability of these families, revealing the child about their\udadoptive condition and their origin has a capital importance. So this process has been, among others, the main\udtopic of our researching (of qualitative nature) of seven andalusian families (four of national adoption and three\udinternationals), that adopted their child between 1996 and 2000. First we have studied the information that\udthe adoptive families have about their child and other aspects related to when, how and who was involved in\udthe revealing process. Following to this, we have described the reactions of the adopted child and, finally, the\udpaternal opinions before the possibility of their child being interested in investigating and meet their origins
