Rosie Waterfield of Regentâs University is conducting research in non-adopted adultsâ experiences of their adopted siblingâs search for and reunion with their birth family. So far, research about search and reunion has focused on the experiences of the adoptee, the adoptive parents, and the birth parents. This research would like to expand on this by exploring the experiences of non-adopted siblings. If you are interested in participating follow the link http://cfp.cc/5GEF95

I think in most cases it is hugely traumatic for the children who weren't adopted into a new family. We, as the adopters, have enough to worry about without having to feel that 'guilt' as well. This is a survey that should go via LA but I doubt they would give it any time as quite honestly it is more than they can worry about. Their job is to just keep the children alive until they are 18, after that any fall out is down to society and not their problem!

Why is this required? Who has decided that this is a major problem that requires investigation? What outcomes are expected from a report on this study? Who will take action as a result of this report? Who will benefit from this research project? I honestly don't see the point.

'Your adopted sibling was adopted through a closed adoption (i.e., they were not adopted by someone related to them)' That is not a closed adoption! In the uk are only a hand full of fully closed adoptions and that has to do with birth parent contact. Maybe good to read some book about adoption first before making a study out of it! May I suggest you study the impact adoptive children have on birth children, how this continues well into adulthood or how it changed in adulthood. That birth parent business should be left to the experts, and it appears far fetched, not relevant, while the impact the adopted child hason their family, their needyness, their special needs, is very relevant.

Personally I would have thought it is one of the least important areas to research (from an adopters point of view) - but maybe the researcher has personal experience which drives their choice. Also I don't like the use of the term "search and re-union" - again that's an adopter's perspective - but it does affect how other people see it too
