本研究目的為了解諮商心理師與同志家庭進行無血緣收養議題的工作經驗，以及對該工作經驗的想法與反思。本研究以質性研究取向、現象學研究派典之方法，透過半結構深度訪談的方式了解兩位諮商心理師與同志家庭進行無血緣收養評估會談時，會如何理解該族群所遭遇的問題情境與需求、會如何思考與建構此情境下的工作經驗及其意義，呈現以下研究結果與發現：

一、諮商心理師對同志族群及無血緣收養議題的觀察與了解，包含「同志收養家庭遭遇多重污名交織的壓迫處境」、「在多重污名壓迫處境下的需求：社群連結與社會資源」、「出櫃與身份認同議題伴隨同志收養家庭整體生命歷程」。
二、諮商心理師與同志家庭在無血緣收養議題的工作經驗，包含「諮商心理師在收養機構與同志收養人間扮演重要的橋樑與轉譯角色」、「收養服務工作者應同時兼具兒童最佳利益與當事人福祉的工作視框」、「諮商心理師對評估會談的不同眼光：融入賦能觀點以充權同志收養人」。
三、諮商心理師與同志家庭進行無血緣收養議題工作的想法，包含「諮商心理師透過專業認同的覺察，定位角色位置並產生回應與行動」、「諮商心理師與收養工作者皆應覺察自身對同志收養議題之價值觀以避免再製壓迫」、「諮商心理師應提升對同志收養家庭的教育訓練與倡議行動」。

最後根據上述研究結果與發現，對未來研究、諮商與收養實務工作者提出相關建議。

The purpose of this study is to understand counseling psychologists’ experience of working with LGBQ+ families for non-relative adoption as well as their thoughts and reflections on the experience. Through a qualitative research design and the phenomenological paradigm method, this study conducted semistructured in-depth interviews with two counseling psychologists. It explored how, in meetings for non-relative adoption assessment, these counseling psychologists empathized with the problems and needs of LGBQ+ families as well as how they thought about and constructed the experience and meaning of working with these families. The results and findings are as follows.

1. The observations and understanding of counseling psychologists toward the LGBQ+ community and non-relative adoption involved the following themes: “the oppression from intersectional stigmas faced by LGBQ+ adoptive families,” “the needs of LGBQ+ adoptive families under oppression from intersectional stigmas: community ties and social resources,” and “coming-out and self-identity issues in LGB Q+ families over the course of their lives.”
2. The experience of counseling psychologists working with LGBQ+ families on non-relative adoption involved the following themes: “the role of counseling psychologists as the bridge and translator between adoption service providers and LGBT adopters,” “working under the principle of upholding the adoptive child’s best interest while ensuring the well-being of the adopters,” and “the distinctive view of counseling psychologists toward adoption assessment meetings: the empowerment of LGBQ+ adopters”
3. The thoughts of counseling psychologists and LGBQ+ families on non-relative adoption involved the following themes: “the counseling psychologists based their responses and actions on their perceived roles according to their professional identity,” “counseling psychologists and adoption service providers should both be aware of their values toward LGBQ+ adoption to prevent reproducing oppression,” and “counseling psychologists should improve their training, initiatives, and actions for working with LGBQ+ adoptive families.”

Finally, suggestions were provided based on the results and findings for future research as well as counseling and adoption practitioners.
