OBJECTIVES: The authors focused on the attitudes of the Czech public towards the international
adoption of minors from and into the Czech Republic. THEORETICAL BASE: 500 children
aged from 1 to 9 were adopted internationally since 2000 according to the Czech Office for
International Legal Protection of Children. METHODS: The research was based on a quantitative
methodological approach using explorational methods of questioning. The representative research
sample involved the Czech adult population (N = 1.050). Quota selection was realized according
to sex, age, education, and place of residence. OUTCOMES: The results suggest that respondents
largely do not support the international adoption of minors from the Czech Republic (M = 6.7,
SD = 2.89) and into the Czech Republic (M = 6.2, SD = 2.84). A strong positive correlation was
found between support of international adoption from and into the Czech Republic (rrho = .70, p
< .001, r2 = 49%). The level of support for international adoption varied by region of the Czech
Republic and type of household. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: Many indications imply
the absence of greater awareness among the Czech public about the system of adoption, by which
the presumption of the authors concerning so-called white space which should be covered.
