Abstract

Background: With the increasing rates of adoption and its acceptance in India, the question of whether to tell or not about the adoption to the adoptee always remains. Disclosure is a very important phase in the life of every adoptee and the adoptive parents. Aim: The aim of the study was to learn about the views of adoptive parents about the disclosure, assumed aftermath, and role of social support. Methods: The study used a qualitative research method which included a content analysis as a method of analysis and semi-structured interview method for data collection. The study included 8 Indian adoptive parents. Results: Through the findings, it was observed that there are various consequences that emerge out of the extent of disclosure, motives behind it, preferences, and aids to disclose which was explored in the study. These decisions of disclosure were viewed to be ruled by assumed aftermath by the adoptive parents they were both negative and positive. The need of social support system was highlighted by the participants was said to be playing an important role in the process. Conclusion: Overall findings show the diversity of the preferences, motives, aids to divulge and assumed aftermath thus providing scope for further exploration with the Indian adoptive parents and impact of the disclosure on adoptees.
通过印度养父母探索收养信息披露:定性研究
背景:在印度,随着收养率的不断提高及其被接受程度的增加,是否向被收养人公布收养信息的问题始终存在。对于每个被收养人和收养父母来说,公开收养信息都是人生中一个非常重要的阶段。目的:本研究旨在了解养父母对披露信息的看法、假定的后果以及社会支持的作用。研究方法研究采用了定性研究方法,包括内容分析法和半结构式访谈法。研究对象包括 8 位印度收养父母。结果研究结果表明,公开的程度、公开的动机、公开的偏好和公开的辅助工具会产生各种后果。这些披露决定被认为是由养父母假定的后果所决定的,这些后果既有消极的,也有积极的。参与者强调了社会支持系统的必要性,认为它在这一过程中发挥了重要作用。结论总体研究结果表明,被收养人的偏好、动机、对披露的帮助以及假定的后果是多种多样的,这就为与印度养父母进一步探讨披露对被收养人的影响提供了空间。
