Lightbulb Thesis Project

Hi! My name is Caitlin and I am a senior sociology major at Chapman University in California and I am looking for adoptive parents who would be willing to answer some questions via email for my thesis project. I am looking for adoptive parents who are caucasian and have adopted Asian children. My goal is to better understand how our society's view of international adoption has evolved over the years and am interested in your experiences adopting outside of your racial group. Any help that anyone could give me would be more than appreciated. Thank You!

hi

Hi!

My name is Erin and I'm only 17. But I'm caucasian and I have a 3-year-old sister who is adopted from China. I know you are looking for parents, but I thought maybe I could help?? Maybe you could get my "sisterly" point of view. I personally have to do a project in my highschool years and I'm now in the 11th grade, I plan to do it on Chinese adoption covering the costs of different agencies, etc. Through my sisters adoption, and have been to China twice, I'm planning to go to College to major in Social work, working with adoptions as well as learning Mandarin Chinese!! Anyway, If I could help you out I'd love to answer questions for you! Hope to hear from you sometime!
