Jag vill genom mitt examensarbete berätta om hur adoptivbarn och adoptivföräldrar kan uppleva tiden före, under och efter adoptionsprocessen och hur de kan uppleva sin och barnens situation när de börjar på förskolan. Jag kommer även att berätta om min egen erfarenhet och kunskap utifrån att ha en adopterad son och ett komplicerat men givande arbete med ett adopterat barn i förskolan. Jag har inför mitt arbete med mitt examensarbete besökt en föreläsning om adopterade barn i förskolan samt intervjuat en förälder till ett adopterat barn som går i förskolan. Genom mitt examensarbete har jag fått en bild av vilka dilemman pedagoger och adoptivföräldrar kan ställas inför vid inskolningen med ett adopterat barn. I examensarbetet beskriver jag hur essentiellt det är med erfarenhet och utbildning av adopterade barn i förskolan. / My aim with this thesis is to discuss how adoptees and adoptive parents may experience the time before, during and after the adoption process and how they can feel about their and their children’s situation when they start at the preschool. I will draw on my own experience and knowledge from having an adopted son, as well as on my complex but rewarding work with an adopted child in preschool. As part of my preparation for writing this thesis I have visited a lecture of adopted children in preschool and interviewed a parent of an adopted child that is in preschool. Through this thesis, I have arrived at a picture of the dilemmas that educators and adoptive parents may face during the induction of an adopted child in preschool, and how essential it is with experience and education of adopted children in preschool.

Baseados nos teóricos da Psicologia Social Discursiva e em teóricos pós-estruturalistas que estudam a relação entre discurso e identidade, partimos do pressuposto de que as identidades são construídas por práticas sociais e discursivas e são objetos negociados e disputados por diferentes discursos. Para a realização deste estudo, entrevistamos militantes de dois grupos de apoio à adoção, coletamos o material discursivo disponibilizado no site da Associação Nacional de Grupos de Apoio à Adoção (ANGAAD) e matérias do Jornal Folha de S. Paulo veiculadas durante o período de 2009 a 2014. Para a análise desse material discursivo, utilizamos o referencial teórico-metodológico da Psicologia Social Discursiva, a qual dispensa uma especial atenção às ações realizadas com o uso da linguagem. Os resultados mostram que diferentes atributos são mobilizados para construir a identidade do filho adotivo. Um deles, mobilizado pela mídia, de maneira sutil, é a suposta periculosidade do filho adotivo. Esse atributo é combatido pelos militantes da causa da adoção. Denunciam a assimetria existente entre filhos adotivos e biológicos nesses relatos. Outro atributo é o abandono, apresentado pela mídia, e de maneira ambígua pelos militantes, como um atributo central dos filhos adotivos. A ideia de que os filhos adotivos têm uma predisposição para apresentarem distúrbios psicológicos e problemas de conduta também esteve presente, mas foi mais combatida do que endossada. Outra maneira de identificar os filhos adotivos consiste em afirmar que eles são filhos autênticos porque passaram pela via da adoção. Por fim, outro atributo presente diz respeito aos candidatos a futuros filhos adotivos. Eles são representados fundamentalmente a partir de características biológicas e sociais negativas. / The aim of this study is to identify and analyse the construction of identity discourses in media and adoption support groups reports regarding adoptive children. Taking in account the theories of Social Psychology and Post-structuralism, in which the relationship between discourse and identity is studied, it is argued that identities are constructed and negotiated by social practices and discourses. For this study we interviewed supporters of two adoption groups, also analysed discursive material available on the National Association of Adoption Support Groups (ANGAAD) site and finally news published by the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo from 2009 to 2014. An analytical framework was developed based on the theories of Discursive Psychology, taking in account the use of language in relation to social actions. The findings demonstrate that different attributes are negotiated to construct the adopted children identity. One of them, underlined by the media, subtly, is the supposed to the dangerousness of the adopted child. This discourse is contested by the supporters of the adoption groups, who underline the inequality between adoptive and biological children. Another attribute presented by the media and also by the adoption supporters, the latest in an unclear discourse, is related to rejection. The idea that the adoptive children have a predisposition to develop psychological disorders and behavioural problems was also present in the interviewees and media reports analysis. However, this perspective was more criticized than used to characterize the adoptive children. Another way to identify the adoptive children is to state that they are ‘true children’ because they have been through the adoption process. Finally, another attribute presented in the findings is related to the candidates to prospective adoptive children. These are mainly represented by using biological and social negative attributes.
