wow. what you're saying sounds great. Trouble is, I only have 3 or 4 months to do this, and I'm currently not in the US (although my school is). I was hoping more to work with online sources, and various websites, as well as with a lot of adoptive parents I know myself. Of course, that would limit my sample... but I still think there is something here worth getting at.
I wonder though, if people would even be willing to answer a questionairre, since it seems that there have been 40 or so view to my posts here on this site, and only two people have responded. Leads me to think no one would be willing to say what's on their minds.
My first thought was to get adoptive parents reactions to meeting the birthparents themselves, but the few adoptive parents I spoke to said- what's the question? I'd rather not do that (meet them, or even "that's the last person on earth I'd be willing to meet right now). so I realized that wouldn't be a great premise for the paper.
BUt your idea of seeing if there were other issues on adoptive parent's minds when the subject of reunion comes up might be a good one.
Let's see if this can get some feedback!
