Abstract | Examines link between adoption reunion and perception of adoption as social stigma through accounts of 60 reunited adult adoptees. Adoptees reported discrimination from others who questioned their unknown biological kinship ties. Their perception of self as more socially acceptable after reunion correlates with their view of adoptive status as social stigma. (JBJ) |
