摘要

摘要本定性研究探讨了12名寻找被收养人的收养视角。主题分析产生了四个元主题:(1)乐观的收养观点、信仰和价值观;(2)收养家庭在收养中的整体作用;(3+)收养的影响;(4)社会对收养的看法。这些发现表明，收养是替代、寄养或机构照料的一个很好的选择。所有与会者都相信收养的积极性质和产生积极收养结果的可能性。然而，积极的收养经历可能取决于被收养者对其生物历史的了解，没有虐待，以及关于收养的公开沟通。

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.

期刊介绍： Adoption Quarterly is an unparalleled forum for examining the issues of child care, of adoption as viewed from a lifespan perspective, and of the psychological and social meanings of the word "family." This international, multidisciplinary journal features conceptual and empirical work, commentaries, and book reviews from the fields of the social sciences, humanities, biological sciences, law, and social policy. 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.
