Adult Adoptees’ Perspectives on Adoption: A South African Perspective
Abstract This qualitative study explored perspectives on adoption of 12 searching adult adoptees. A thematic analysis resulted in four meta-themes: (1) Optimistic adoption views, beliefs and values, (2) the integral role of the adoptive family in adoption, (3+) the effects of adoption, and (4) perceptions of adoption in society. These findings indicate that adoption is a good alternative to substitute, foster or institutional care. All participants believed in the positive nature of adoption and the possibility of positive adoption outcomes. However, a positive adoption experience may be dependent on the adoptees’ access to their biological history, the absence of abuse, and open communication about adoption.

In addition to examining ethical, biological, financial, social and psychological adoption issues, Adoption Quarterly addresses continuity in adoption issues that are important to both practitioners and researchers, such as: negotiation of birth and adoptive family contact.
