Hello all,
I am an adult adoptee and a doctoral student in sociology. My current research is examining the experiences of adult adoptees in the process of search and reunion, from a social rather than the usual psychological point of view. I am particularly interested in adoptee motivations to search, others' reactions to the process, methods and difficulties involved in searching, and making contact with birth family members if applicable. I wish to conduct face-to-face interviews, so I am looking to speak with people currently living in or around Wayne and Summit counties in Ohio (regardless of where the adoption took place).
If you are a searching or already reunited adult adoptee in this area and are willing to share your search experiences, please contact me at ama13@uakron.edu (please put "adoptee" somewhere in the subject line). All interviews will be completely confidential. This research has been approved by the university's Institutional Research Board, and all participants will receive confidentiality information and informed consent forms. I anticipate the interviews will take roughly 1-2 hours and can be conducted at the university campus or any other convenient place where you feel comfortable. Unfortunately, I don't have the research budget to pay my participants, but I would be happy to spring for a cup of coffee/tea for anyone willing to talk to me. Thank you for your time. And please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
