Case Study
they have never married, they consider themselves married and never thought it
was necessary to have a wedding. They have good relationships with both
extended families and have a group of close friends. Both are successful
professionals; Mark is an engineer and Jan is an events coordinator.They have
come to you (counselor) because they have started having some issues in their
relationship that they think are due to the stress of trying to adopt a child.
They have had two adoptions fall through in the last three years. The first
failed adoption was the most difficult, and the second failed adoption was just
a couple of weeks ago. Both people are very disappointed and frustrated with
the process. They have noticed a change in their intimacy and their
communication and are concerned about their relationship. They seem to be
arguing more, and both report feeling very stressed and discouraged but
desperately want to be parents. They are committed to their relationship and
want to continue to pursue adoption.
Do you see any issues in working with this couple? What
other information would you want to know?
Would your reaction and desire to work with this couple be
any different if it were Mark and Steve or Jan and Jessica? Imagine that the
case study information is the same, but the relationship is homosexual instead
of heterosexual.
Please be honest in your response.
