Torie DiMartile is currently a PhD candidate at Indiana University Bloomington completing her dissertation on the topics of race/ethnicity, kinship, and adoption in the U.S. In particular, she focuses on how the 2020 national racial reckoning has shaped conceptions of family and race for adult Black transracial adoptees.
Torie is seeking survey participants to further her dissertation research. This survey was approved by the Indiana University Institutional Review Board (Protocol # 14007) and covers the topics of racial identity development and mental health for transracial adoptees of color.
Are you 18 years of age or older?
Are you a person of color that was adopted (through kinship, domestic, or international adoption) by white parents in the U.S.?
Were you primarily raised in the U.S.?
Are you interested in and willing to answer questions about your experiences of racial identity formation, racism, adoptive family and mental health?
If you answered yes to the questions above you are eligible to participate. This survey consists of 85 multiple choice questions and should take about 25 minutes to complete. This research will hopefully contribute to improving adoptive parent and agency education and practices, improve mental health services for adoptees of color, and inform national adoption policy.
