College student looking for help

I'll help ya out. Can you tell us a little more about the project tho?EDIT: Felt as if some questions should be rethought/refocused a little bit. I've found my experience to have had both positive and negative impacts, and it's really impossible for me to deem the whole of any experience as one or the other.

What information do you need? I've never NOT been open about my adoption, so whatever insight you need or opinion etc I can help. Talk soon, Andrea

Thank you both for responding! My research project is an extension of the research I did last quarter. I interviewed four adopted people, two females and two males. I focused on topics mainly concerning experiences of growing up adopted. This would include how they were teased by classmates, how they felt different from their families because they were not the same ethnicities, how they felt resentment or attachment to siblings who were genetically related to their parents, how they felt a stronger bond with siblings who were also adopted, and how adoption has affected them as parents. These are just a few of the topics that I was thinking about when I formulated this survey. I am now testing hypotheses for quantitative research concerning the tendencies of relationships among siblings who share the experience of adoption and the opinions of adoption from nonadopted people and adopted people. I so far have had no problem getting people who aren't adopted to fill out my survey but only have a handful of adopted people in my data. I unfortunately have run into snags in my research. It is typical of survey research to want to refine or add constantly, but that would skew the research because then not all of my subjects have answered the same questions. I appreciate the suggestions, and believe me I have thought of my own corrections as well, but it is unfortunately too late for me to make any changes. If you feel uncomfortable answering the questions, you can always skip them or answer to the best of your ability. Again, I'm sorry there are not enough options. Again, my survey link is posted. If you feel inclined to take it, I would appreciate it immensely. Thank you again guys! [url]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dE1ubXdSd01vMXpFcWJfLXRvSWpScEE6MQ[/url]

Hi Erin, Nice to see someone doing some adoption research. Will you be publishing your results in this forum? It'd be interesting to see what you find.

Hi, Erin, I am also a college student working on a paper relating to adoption. I am a mother of three children all adopted. I will be happy to answer your questions. But I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me? Thank you.

Hi Erin, just completed the questionnaire, some of the question do not apply to me, as I am a mother of three adopted children. I hope my answers help.

I second (third?) the opinion that the questions are too narrow in many areas, though I know you've thought of that already. For future references, I think a more inclusive scale (always to never type) tends to yield more specific results. I feel positively about adoption in general, but have had a lot of angst and negativity about my situation specifically. The joys of attempting empirical research on an emotionally complex topic, right?
