I am planning on doing my research paper on the history of adoption. I am particularly interested in how modern documentation techniques and other modern conventions have changed today’s adoption from adoption in the past.
I have already used the official adoption website and general history research websites for information on the subject. I might use other adoption websites, maybe from other parts of the world so I can broaden the spectrum of my subject. Case studies might also be helpful to look into the personal aspects of the process, rather than the legal and cultural.
Finding case studies might be difficult, but I’m sure finding famous adopted people won’t be. If I can find some famous adopted people, I might be able to read the children section in their biographies and find out about their adopted lives there. I could also look at personal interviews done on people who are not famous.
Josh, This looks good. I'm worried that you might have a hard time finding credible sources. This topic also warrants a discussion of the implications and ethical considerations of adoption as well as the history.
