The aim of this paper is to present the results of a study called Bonding of adolescents under rights restoration processes. The objective was to describe and evaluate the bonds of teenagers who have been placed for adoption and are now at a protection institution. The investigation was biographical in nature with life stories, interviews and bonding relationships maps, with four adolescents selected from a theoretical sampling. Data were processed through Content Analysis. The conclusion was that the adolescents had built different bonds with the original family depending on their stories and the meanings and qualities of the bonding. Household educators and godfathers became subsidiary bonding figures from the daily care they provide to the adolescents.
