The author analyzes the problem of socialization of orphans during their independent living arrangements while facing the main reasons of difficulties of this process within any social and moral stand which bears the psychological group of foster home entity. The problem is in absence of appropriate educational programs as well as unwillingness to set concise remedial and developing tasks in the course of the study and upbringing. Opposing the personalities of children from secured family and one from orphan home, the author came to a conclusion that the personality of the latter one combines the positive and asocial features. The aggression in attempt to prove his right for living is thought to be as the only way out of a situation as well as the only life orienting point.
Within the situations of serious social and economic changes which take place in society and country, the issue of foster children adaptation, their integration into the society becomes particularly topical.
Mother and social deprivation, lack of communication with the loved adult person, absence of acceptance relations, collective methods of upbringing with the lack of personal responsibility and other peculiarities of raising of children within the state foster home entities (orphan homes, boarding schools) lead to distortion, defection of interactions of orphans with the social environment which results eventually in their weak psychological readiness to independent life, obstacles in adaptation to the modern time requirements.
