Hi!
I am a grade 12 student researching a project on adoption. I don’t want to invade anyone’s privacy, but I need to post 9 questions to parents of adopted children. I very much appreciate your time and admire what you do for adopted children. If you are willing, please answer the following:

1.) Why did you make the decision to adopt?
2.) What, if any, research did you do before adopting?
3.) What challenges did you overcome when going through the adoption process?
4.) If so, how did you choose an adoption agency?
5.) From who or where do you receive support as an adoptive parent? (eg.-support groups, adoptive families, family members etc.)
6.) What are some of the requirements to adopt a child?
7.) If you have any children, how did you help prepare your child for adoption, and/or how did you explain adoption?
8.) How do you feel about your child contacting their birth parents?
9.) How did you prepare financially for adoption?


If you don’t want to post your answers, or have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at daniellie@rogers.com

Thank you very much!
