| Summary: | Culturally, the society assigns to women not only the gestation of a child, but the care and
responsibility of the constitution of the first links with the baby. Thus, the research aimed to
examine how the femininity can be related to the desire of women to exercise maternity through
adoption, and to think why some women need to become mothers to feel feminine, while others
prefer to abdicate this role to take on other social commitments, and to understand the desire on
the adoption as something beyond femininity, which runs through the bond present in the
mother/child relationship. The material collection used in the research was conducted through
literature. The method adopted for this work development was psychoanalysis. It can be noticed
that the woman has not found her space, and is confused about her desires and about the desires
that society expects her to have. Thinking about the modern woman is opening a diversity of
choices, as she is redefining values and looking for her identity. The fact that the woman acts in
economical and/or familiar fields does not seem to decrease or eliminate her femininity.
Gradually, each one will find their value and realize that regardless how they behave in these
situations, they will never lose their essence, because being feminine is to be beyond the
standards imposed by society: is to look at the woman as a whole.
