Adoption is defined as a special form of family law care and protection of children withoutadequate parental care, which creates a lasting relationship between parents and children.Despite the understanding of adoption as a good solution that brings joy to the child and theadoptive parent, the path to the adoption, as well as the process of adjustment is certainly noteasy. Due to the many challenges that new adoptive family faces, it needs systematic help andsupport from available institutions. One of the institutions with a significant role in the life of anadopted child is the primary school that the child attends. It raises the question of the role of theexpert associate of the pedagogue in providing support to children and parents from theadoptive family. In order to gain insight into the pedagogical perspective and experience inproviding support to an adopted child, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a totalof 7 participants of professional associates of primary school pedagogues who met withadoptive families in their practise. The obtained research results indicate the great importanceof the role of pedagogues in the implementation and organization of support to adoptivefamilies within the school. First of all, the obtained results confirm the justification of thecompetence of the expert associate pedagogue to work with the adopted child. Also, theresearch confirms the well-known lack and insufficiency of the offered education ofpedagogues specifically related to the topic of adoption, especially at the formal highereducation level. At the same time, the participants assess the lack of education as one of themost significant shortcomings of the educational systems in general for providing support toadoptive families. Furthermore, the obtained data indicate the practice of applying mainly themethod of individual or small group conversations in the practise of pedagogues with adoptivefamilies, where the subject of conversation is school everyday life and educational procedures.Finally, one of the main conclusions of the research is the recommendation of the pedagoguenot to single out the child as adopted if there is no need for it.
