BAAF/The Children's Society

Adoption, Search & Reunion

BAAF/The Children's Society had undertaken a study about adopted people's search for identity and reunion, in collaboration with the School of Social Work at the University of East Anglia.

The results of the study were first reported at a conference held in London in March 2000; we filmed the conference, editing a 40 minute video from the accounts of adopted people who spoke.

Searching Questions: Identity, Origins and Adoption: this book and video are both based on a unique study about what motivates some adopted people to search or not. They highlight the issues involved and provide a greater understanding of the complexities and feelings that may be encountered on the way. Find out more here.
