本文探讨了收养团聚与将收养视为社会耻辱之间的联系。这种联系来自 60 名团聚的成年被收养者的叙述，他们回答了关于团聚结果的开放式访谈问卷。受访者报告说，他们受到其他质疑他们未知的生物亲属关系的人的歧视。他们认为团聚后自我更容易被社会接受，这与他们将收养身份视为社会耻辱的观点相关。文章最后建议进一步审查收养状况，将其作为收养、搜寻和团聚结果的主要因素。
This article examines the link between adoption reunion and perception of adoption as social stigma. That link emerges from the accounts of 60 reunited adult adoptees who responded to an open-ended interview questionnaire on reunion outcome. The respondents 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 their adoptive dtatus as social stigma. The article concludes with a recommendation for further examination of adoptive status as a major factor in adoption, search, and reunion outcome.
