Adopted Adults Who Search for Background Information and Contact with Birth Relatives
Records for 366 adopted adults seeking background information or possible contact were analysed. The study describes reasons for seeking help, contact established and aspects of adoptive-family relationships.
Limitations: Specialist-service users cannot represent adoptees who did not search or searched independently. Publication relationship: Adoption & Fostering is published by SAGE on behalf of CoramBAAF (historically BAAF), an adoption-sector organisation. This identifies the publication context, not proof that the organisation conducted or commissioned the study. Readers may take this relationship into account when interpreting the findings.
