The Korean Adoptees of Hawai’i organization is sponsoring a research study that explores the relationship between adult transnational adoptees and their adoptive parents. The project is looking specifically at how adult transnational adoptees and their parents have negotiated the complex issues related to adoptive, racial and ethnic/cultural identity.
The study is soliciting responses via online surveys, from both adult transnational adoptees and their adoptive parents.
They’re also conducting interviews with adoptee-parent pairs; the study coordinators will begin interviews in Hawaii, Michigan and Georgia during the spring of 2011, and will move on to the West Coast (San Francisco, Portland, Seattle), the Mid-West (Minneapolis, Michigan), and the East Coast (Washington, D.C./NYC)
Check out more info at the study’s website and Facebook and if interested in participating, please contact the study coordinators here.
