Privacy and Confidentiality in Adoption Research: Perspectives from the Minnesota/Texas Adoption Research Project
There is currently a focus in adoption research on the processes that influence adoption-related adjustment (Palacios & Brodzinsky, 2011).

The purpose of the current study is to outline privacy and confidentiality issues that arise when working with the adoption network. we also provide examples of how to address these issues using procedures from the Minnesota/Texas Adoption Research Project

Logistic regression analyses revealed that the formation of an adoption information gap, which contains the content of curiosity, was more likely for those who less satisfied with the amount of contact in at both adolescence and emerging adulthood. Content of the information gap at emerging adulthood will be presented
