When going through the intricacies of this study's subject, it was found an exponent number of works about masculinities and paternities. However this increase does not shows significantly reflection about adoptive paternity. Thus, this research is presented as relevant, since these phenomena are present in the social context. Thereby this work aims to understand the experience of being a adoptive father, via open interview, the "Clinical Research interview", through Davi's experience - member of a Study and Support Group for Adoption. The interpretation of the interviews was realized through the "Analytic of Sense". Among the comprehensive possibilities, it was bounced in Davi's testimony the questioning of the biological family arrangements hegemony, presenting the affection as a trade mark for family relationships. In this sense, this research highlights a dialogue about the exercise of paternity related to the adoption, in particular the so-called "necessary adoptions", which refer to older children and adolescents.
