Adoption-sensitive teachers do not give family tree assignments any more. However, if your school's teachers do, there are a lot of creative options.
I love the family circle. But there are lots of ways to honor both the birth family and the adoptive family.
Some kids do two trees that grow together. So the bio family is one tree and the adoptive family is another tree, but they join together at the point where the child is.
Even though my daughter's birthparents are unknown -- she comes from China, where abandonment is often the only way to make an adoption plan -- I would not want to exclude them from a family tree.
