The problematic of adoption is a process which can be harmful to the identity of a child who lives it in relation to the history of his biological parents who had to give him away and also to the history of his new parents who adopted him.
In order to study the different affects and anxieties inherent to this process, the author based herself on Grimm Brothers’ well-known tale: Hansel and Gretel. The tail embodies the theme of the traumatic abandoning which lies in the roots of all adoptions.
