Adversity, adoption and afterwards: A mid-life follow-up study of women adopted from Hong Kong
This book examines women adopted from Hong Kong orphanages into UK families, following their lives into middle age. The publisher describes standardised outcome measures, comparisons with other adopted and non-adopted women, and qualitative interviews. Detailed findings are not summarised because the book itself was not reviewed.
Limitations: Publisher description and bibliographic information only. Historical, female intercountry-adoption cohort; not representative of all adoptees. Shares participants with other British Chinese Adoption Study publications. Publication relationship: this research was published by BAAF or in its Adoption & Fostering journal, now associated with CoramBAAF, an adoption-sector organisation. Publication does not establish that the organisation conducted the research; readers may take the institutional relationship into account.
