Trajetórias sociais e educacionais construídas por jovens provenientes de famílias não biológicas

Abstract

The adoption theme is extremely complex, sensitive, and full of surprises approach. When searching the literature for studies that dealt with learning, social development, and adoption, we realized the scarcity of research that led the discussions from a socio-historical perspective. Of the few studies found that proposed this discussion, most of them focused on adoption as a traumatic event, responsible for disastrous consequences for the development of the adopted child, among them learning difficulties. However, we understand that this social phenomenon is more complex than the one observed, that is why the objective is to study learning and affectivity in adopted university youths. When entering the life of someone who has had such an experience, it is possible to understand a delicacy of affective bonds that go beyond any blood resemblance. The generation we find today is the generation of the now, that makes it happen, that is in a hurry to get answers, that tirelessly search for a place that they can call their own, for a social group where they can identify and recognize themselves. But where did the story begin of these young people not biologically united in their first social environment, the family? How did they fit in, cope and recognize themselves among the people who chose you to love and to build a family? In order to answer these questions, a qualitative approach was used, using questionnaire collection instruments, semi-structured interviews and field diaries, to interpret the information, using Bardin's content analysis (2011). With that, we found that the adopted individual does not develop affective ties only due to the condition of adopted, external factors may be the main responsible, such as an environment in which the adopted is welcome, without being rejected by family, close friends and school, or although he grows up knowing the true story, remaining with a connection with his origins. On the other hand, it is important to say that confronting situations is contrary to good receptivity, adopters have learned to turn things around. It is possible to conclude briefly that the adoption made in the best possible way is not a fact that triggers problems of any kind, quite the opposite, it causes the individual to awaken a sensitivity towards the other and a much more comprehensive and developed social vision.
