The Adoption Authority of Ireland’s research unit is recruiting for a research study with internationally adopted people.
This would involve participating in one online focus group, and completing a brief questionnaire. The purpose of this study is to understand the experiences and views of people who were adopted into Ireland from another country. We hope to understand more about the experiences of this group from adolescence through to adulthood, and to give them a way to voice their views about adoption and reflect on childhood experiences growing up in Ireland. We also want to find out about what, if any, support(s) they feel would be useful to internationally adopted people.
Recruitment has now started, and we are inviting anyone who wishes to take part to get in touch with us. Please visit aai.gov.ie/en/intercountry-adoption-focus-group-recruitment for more information. For any queries, please contact
