I am also an adoptee doing research for my senior thesis on fear of abandonment in adult adoptees, if you are like me I've read just about every adoption book out there and there is not a lot of research on what adult adoptee's feel and experience throughout their lives. This is why I am doing this research, to help gain knowledge, and understanding about myself as an adoptee, and hopefully find out that I'm not the only one who has experienced feels of fear of abandonment. If you all could help me out in taking this short survey it would greatly be appreciated...thank you :)"Do Adult Adoptees experience some form of fear of abandonment?"
