(aunque mayoritariamente asentados en Cataluña). Esta selección forma parte de una muestra más amplia de 477 padres y madres adoptantes con quienes se trabajó entre 2012 y 2016 a diversos niveles a lo largo de la investigación y a quienes se administró un cuestionario online que daba cuenta de diversas facetas del proyecto adoptivo y que permitió combinar un nivel más extensivo de respuestas con la profundización en algunos aspectos clave mediante entrevistas y la determinación de su red personal (Grau Rebollo, García Tugas y Vich Bertrán, 2016). Para contactar con ellos/as contamos con la colaboración de casi 60 asociaciones (como Adopta, AAIM, IPI, Ajuda’m, Genus, Jamuna, Adopty, ACI o AFAC, entre muchas otras, a quienes se informó por escrito del propósito y alcance del cuestionario), además de promover la metodología de bola de nieve para ampliar y diversificar los perfiles recabados4. Se buscaba así ampliar al máximo el espectro geográfico y relacional de potenciales informantes, aunque finalmente —y sin pretenderlo— acabaron siendo mayoría los padres y madres residentes en Cataluña. Respecto al perfil familiar, como puede apreciarse en la Tabla 1, predominan claramente las familias hete-roparentales5.

También sería interesante profundizar en futuros estudios en las es-trategias de crianza de aquellas personas cuyo total de nominados como elementos fundamentales para la crianza es muy reducido (por debajo del umbral de cinco, establecido en este estudio), así como el papel activo de los menores en responsabilidades de crianza, por cuanto se han revelado, pese a su escasa incidencia estadística, como un sector cualitativo espe-cialmente importante y que en este caso ha supuesto que se consideren más relevantes los cuidados y el juego que la educación o la autoridad, por ejemplo. Esto implicará adoptar una dimensión no adultocéntrica que se oriente a examinar las relaciones entre pares, independientemente de su edad.

N2 - The phenomenon of international adoptions has been widely studied in the last 15 years from various disciplines, including Social and Cultural Anthropology. However, some areas have not yet been fully considered in our discipline, such as the role of personal support networks in adoptive parenting. In order to palliate this shortcoming, this article will address the main conclusions of a research project aimed at analysing care tasks and parenting roles, and explore the extension of these roles within the parenting networks configured around internationally adopted children in processes not considered of high risk because of physical or psychological reasons, nor due to other sociocultural vulnerability indicators. To this end, I will examine the personal support networks of fifty parents, considering in particular the key sectors that they think of utmost importance for the daily upbringing of their adopted children. By so doing, I intend to identify the core types of support needed, as well as the main agents involved in care tasks (regardless of their age, profession, social connection or genealogical proximity with the adoptive families), the reasons for their relevance, and the essential characteristics of the resulting networks.
