A long awaited study on adoption identity formation was recently published by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute. A New York Times article about the study can be found here. A full study summary can be found on the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute website by clicking here. We encourage every adoptive parent to check out this excellent study. Also, adoption workers are encouraged to study the findings and consider how best to prepare families for the unique issues of identity formation their adopted child will face. We greatly appreciate the time and effort spent on this wonderful resource.
