Abstract:
Grounded theory methodology was used to describe the perceptions of five birthmothers relating to the surrender of their children for adoption. Data analysis revealed a process whereby birthmothers create patterning in their lives that encompass the major concepts of Hurting, Healing, and Creating Meaning. The phenomena of 'Creating Meaning' began for each woman with the surrender of their child for adoption. Following the surrender, periods of hurting were experienced by each birthmother. The continuation of life events led each woman to also experience healing interludes. As interactions wit

Abstract:
This thesis explored the experience of adoption and adoption disruption from the perspective of young women. Adoption disruption refers to the irretrievable break down of an adoption where the young person no longer resides with the adoptive family. Approximately 20% of UK adoptions disrupt, with precipitating factors including multiple placements prior to adoption, older age at placement and „challenging behaviour‟. Little is known about how young people experience adoption and adoption disruption, which, in practice means that services have a limited evidence-base to draw upon. Given the com

Abstract:
Prior to the democratic elections of 1994, South Africa was daunted by legislation flooded with racial segregation. Adoption across racial lines is, because of South Africa’s racially segregated past, a relatively recent phenomenon in this country. The number of legal adoptions has increased dramatically, especially after its legalization in 1991. Parents may adopt across racial lines for an array of different reasons, from not being able to conceive a baby, to wanting to give a child the best opportunity in life.

This is an interpretative phenomenological study that explores what it is like to be an adoptive parent in the context of open adoption.

Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is characterised by severely underdeveloped or absent attachment between a child and a caregiver. Adopted children who have experienced adverse early experiences prior to adoption may have lacked opportunities to form selective attachment relationships and, in rare cases, may have a diagnosis of reactive attachment disorder. The needs of adoptive families rearing children with special needs, such as children with a RAD diagnosis, are unique and it is crucial to understand the experiences of the families in order to increase the understanding of how to provide

Children who age out of foster care face adjustments and mental health issues at higher rates than their peers, but those who are adopted have the opportunity to heal from previous trauma and experience better outcomes. To create healthy family systems for adopted children, adoptive parents need support and guidance as they personally adjust and help their children adjust to a new family system. Previous research has focused on child identifiers rather than on the broader family system in efforts to understand adoption success and failure.

Utvecklingen och intresset för mobila träningsapplikationer har växt markant de senaste åren och tusentals träningsapplikationer kan idag återfinnas på marknaden. Samtidigt har människor världen över blivit allt mer inaktiva vilket riskerar att leda till stora konsekvenser för individens hälsa och välmående. Mobila träningsapplikationer har visats ha stor potential för att lösa detta problem genom en ökad tillgänglighet och anpassning till användarens förutsättningar och behov. Ett flertal av de applikationer som finns på marknaden idag kan ses anta ett flertal strategie

Abstract:
The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological inquiry was to explore the experiences of adoptive parents who have Black transracially adopted children. More specifically, I sought to understand how the parents perceived their child's cultural and racial identity development and how they perceived the child-parent relationship. Therefore, I used the cultural-racial identity model created for transracial adoptees as a theoretical framework to answer the following questions: What are Black transracially adoptive parents' perceptions of their child's racial/cultural identity development?

Abstract:
ABSTRACT It is not uncommon for new mothers to experience depression. However, depression after the arrival of a child is not limited to biological mothers. The term Post-Adoption Depression Syndrome (PADS) was created to capture the unique type of depression that may occur after adopting a child. The nature and prevalence of depression after adoption is still largely unknown since there is little published research exploring the experiences of mothers in the first year after adopting a child. The characteristics of this disorder are reportedly comparable to postpartum depression in a biol

Abstract:
rans-racial adoption was first legalised in South Africa in 1991, and remains a contentious issue within a society in which the ramifications of apartheid are still felt. The study was borne of recognition of the need for clear understanding of the phenomenon of trans-racial adoption in the unique South African context, from the perspective of the adoptees themselves. The phenomenological approach was employed in this qualitative study, in order to gain an understanding of the meaning and sense that trans-racial adoptees ascribe to their lived experiences. The population for the study was tran

Bibliography: pages 235-252.<br>This investigation into adoption began in January 1986 in the Republic of South Africa. The aim was to understand adoption from the subjective viewpoint of adults who were adopted as infants or children. It was based on the working hypothesis that although adoption has universal qualities, there would also be regional, cultural and time-related differences affecting both the practice and experience of adoption. Appeals were made for respondents through three popular magazines, private welfare organisations, the Registrar of Adoption and by means of "snowball sam
