Mapping the Life Course of Adoption Project (MAP): Health, Well-Being, and Adoptee Connections in AdulthoodÂ
The Coalition believes in elevating the voices and lived experiences of adult adopted persons. This study is a national adoptee-led and community-engaged project aimed at mapping the life course of adoption in adulthood and the role of adoptee-led groups/connections as a resource for thriving adulthoods.
We find the survey they are conducting to be of vital importance and encourage all adopted adults to take the time to complete the survey.
As per Dr. Hollee McGinnis:
“ADOPTEES 18+ IN THE UNITED STATES (adopted internationally, domestically, or from foster care) Let’s MAP THE LIFE COURSE OF ADOPTION TOGETHER!! I am excited to announce this opportunity for adoptees to engage in a long-term and community-embedded project crafted by adoptees for adoptees. This national adoptee-led and community-engaged project aims to: (1) understand how adoptees are aging, and (2) the nature of adoptee spaces/groups and how they relate to adult well-being.
