Adversity, adoption and afterwards

This unique study explores the long-term outcomes for a group of girls, now women in middle age, adopted from orphanages in Hong Kong, by families in the UK. The study offers a rare opportunity to explore the impact of adverse early experience, modified by adoption in creating opportunities and risks, over 50 years.

Chosen

| Edited by Perlita Harris

This anthology gathers writing by over 50 adopted adults. The themes of identity, loss and grief, family and “post-reunion” relationships permeate these accounts, as does the power of healing, encouragement and hope.

Mother me

| Zara H Phillips

This is is a frank and honest account which explores the far-reaching impact of adoption on childhood, adolescence, relationships and self-esteem. It also gives insight into motherhood from the perspective of an adopted woman.

Searching questions

| Julia Feast and Terry Philpot
