Adoption, Search and Reunion: The Long Term Experience of Adopted Adults
The research follows adopted adults involved in searching for, or being contacted by, birth relatives and examines motivations, reunion, relationships with birth and adoptive family members and experiences over time.
Limitations: Participants were connected with search or reunion and therefore do not represent adoptees who did not seek or experience birth-family contact. Publication relationship: this research book/report is published by BAAF/CoramBAAF, 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.
