@MackSteph74 Good question. We are interested in all ages, it's just that we divided into two separate age groups recognising the changes that have happened in adoption practice over the years and the developmental changes that are occurring between 16 and 24 years old.

[AdopteeExperience @AdopteeExperien]

We haven't heard from any male participants yet so if you think you could be interested or have any questions at all please get in touch for an informal discussion, there is no pressure to continue to interview if you don't want to.

[AdopteeExperience @AdopteeExperien]

THANK YOU to those who have taken part already. I really appreciate the time and thought that you have all given to the interviews :)

@MackSteph74 Good question - a linked project that was running alongside this one recruited people who are 25y+. Recruitment has ended for 25y+ as it reached capacity. We hope to consider the experiences of the individual age groups and consider the influence of changing adoption practices.

[AdopteeExperience @AdopteeExperien]

Are you aged 16-24 years old and interested in sharing your views and experiences? Please take a look at our poster.#adopteevoices #adoptiontwitter #adopteetwitter
