ADULT ADOPTEES 18+ PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN OUR SURVEY!
“Beyond Culture Camp: Promoting Healthy Identity
Formation in Adoption”
A Project by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute
with funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation
Recently we had sent an email requesting ADULT ADOPTEES 18+ — ESPECIALLY INTERNATIONALLY ADOPTED ADULTS — to participate in our national online survey for our ground-breaking study on identity and adoption.
If you have already completed the online survey THANK YOU! If you have not taken the survey or have not yet completed the survey PLEASE DO SO TODAY! The online survey will be available only until January 31, 2007.
WE ARE SEEKING 300 PARTCIPANTS AND WE ARE ONLY HALF THERE! WE ESPECIALLY NEED MORE ASIAN ADOPTEES AND WE NEED MORE MEN TO PARTCIPATE!!
To participate in the online survey go to: https://fs10. formsite. com/AdoptionIDPr oject/AdoptionId entitySurvey/ secure_index. html . All of your answers will be anonymous and the information you share with us will be confidential.
This project involves a national Internet survey of internationally adopted adults 18+ who have been raised in transracial families (and a comparison group of domestically adopted adults raised in same-race families) in order to learn – from those who know best – how to promote and sustain a positive identity that incorporates race, culture and adoption. This is one of the first time extensive data will be collected on adult adopted people and it is our belief that our understanding of the collective experiences will truly help to accurately inform and effectively make positive changes in the adoption field THUS YOUR PARTICIPATION IS VITAL!
If you have already forwarded the survey to other adult adoptees you know THANK YOU! And feel free to forward this email to other adult adopted people that you know. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (212) 979-0382 or by email at hmcginnis@adoptioni nstitute. org. We thank you in advance for your time and participation in this survey!
Hope you have a Happy New Year!

Those engaged in promoting adoption should not be in charge of doing studies on adoptees as they will be biased, and will do nothing but promote what these people want – which is more adoptees to be taken for their clients.
