The late discovery of adoptive status
Riley, Helen J. (2008) The late discovery of adoptive status. Family Relationships Quarterly, pp. 17-21.
There is emerging evidence of a range of ethical implications lasting many years when a person finds out about their adoptive status as an adult, and that this information about their genetic origins was intentionally concealed from them. The research contributing to this article has been undertaken from within an applied ethics framework, and is cross-disciplinary in nature.
