Are you an adoptive parent of an internationally adopted child with a disability? Since the finalization of your child’s adoption, has your child been placed out of the home in a group home, residential treatment center, foster care or another adoptive family? In this study adoptive parents will provide about 60 to 90 minutes of their time to interview them about their experiences. Participation is voluntary and your information will be protected and confidential. Your participation in this study will never be disclosed.
A Study investigating placement stability of international adoptees is seeking participants.
To participate in this study, or to find out more information about this study, please read this flyer and contact JaeRan Kim at blev0001@umn.edu or visit my website at jaerankimresearch.wordpress.com.
