Book Description
What do adoptive parents think of their child's search for birth parents and other family members? How do birth mothers react to being approached? The answers to these and other questions related to the effects of adoption as they appeared in a survey undertaken in the year 2000 are listed here. Presenting the individual perspective of birth mothers, adopted people and adoptive parents on what the adoption search and reunion experience has meant to them, the study then examines the reactions of matched pairs of adopted people and their birth mothers and adoptive parents.

Format:Paperback
This is a very informative piece of research in the arena of Adoption Issues, where little exists with the focus on "after reunion". As an After Adoption agency "Birthlink"(Scotland)we were replacing a well used reference book.

10 years on - how are we all doing?
5 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
Although there are many books that document the search and reunion process, this book revisits those involved in the adoption triangle, at least 10 years after reunion, through a comprehensive questionnaire and review. The statistics are there, but the qualitative insights and stories make the reading experience enriching and sympathetic. The comparative viewpoints from the diads and the triads (2 or 3 members of the same adoption triangle) make fascinating reading. The summary at each section under review relates the findings to known psychology of adoption and pulls the whole set of stories into perspective. Worthwhile new insights here.
