Investigating The Research Approaches For Examining Technology Adoption Issues

http://jrp.icaap.org/content/v1.1/choudrie.html

Extractions: cspgykd@brunel.ac.uk Adoption of technology, a research topic within the Information Systems area, is usually studied at two levels: organizational level and user level. This paper examines the range of methods used for studying technology adoption issues at both these levels. The approaches were selected after conducting a review of 48 articles on technology adoption and usage, published in peer reviewed journals between 1985 and 2003. The journals reviewed include the MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, European Journal of Information Systems, Information Systems Journal , and other relevant journals in the IS area. The findings suggest that the survey method was used predominantly when investigating the topics of user adoption and the usage of technology. In contrast, the case study method is the most widely used when examining adoption issues at the organizational level.

Extractions: including risk assessments, medical dictionary and more Adoption is a reasonable option for single individuals or couples who have been unsuccessful with or do not wish to undergo fertility treatments. There are many issues for the prospective parents to consider: the age, ethnic background, or race of the child they wish to adopt, domestic vs. foreign adoption, and whether the couple would be willing to adopt a child with special needs. Many couples disagree about adoption and it can take some time and effort to arrive at a plan that is satisfying to both members of the couple. The costs of adoption can be high, approximately $30,000, for either domestic or foreign adoption, and are not covered by insurance. Adoption Resources Many couples find consultation with an adoption counselor to be very helpful in sorting through all the options that are availiable to them.

Pact, An Adoption Alliance - Adoption And Race: Articles
Attachment Issues in the SchoolAge Adopted Child by David Brodzinsky In their struggle to understand and cope with adoption issues, school-age children
http://www.pactadopt.org/press/articles/attach-school.html

Extractions: by David Brodzinsky Psychologists believe that the success or failure of early attachments affect young children's beliefs and expectations about relationships. In turn, this "internal working model" or representation of relationships, influences the way children interact with others and evaluate themselves. Thus, securely-attached children come to see the world generally as a safe place, and other people as sources of nurture and support. They also tend to view themselves as worthy of attention from others. Conversely, insecurely-attached children more often view the world as unpredictable and threatening, others as unavailable, insensitive, or harsh, and themselves as unworthy of being nurtured. Adopted children, like their non-adopted peers, develop attachments in predictable ways and are profoundly influenced by the quality of the relationships they form with the people in their lives. Research from our laboratory at Rutgers University suggests that, for infancy-placed adopted people, the degree of security in mother-infant attachment to adoptive parents among preschoolers generally has been found to be quite high, as well as strongly correlated to psychological adjustment during this period. As adopted children enter the school-age years, another component of their attachment system becomes increasingly important as well as predictive of their psychological adjustment-namely, the extent and quality of their emotional investment in birth parents. In the preschool years, when most youngsters are first told about their adoption, there is relatively little understanding of what this family status means. Children may label themselves as being adopted, and talk about being born to another set of parents, but their capacity to comprehend the implications of being adopted is limited because of their cognitive immaturity. Emergence into the school-age years, however, brings with it substantial changes in children's ability to reason about the world around them-including the world of adoption. These changes have profound implications for how children view adoption, their birth parents, and themselves.

http://www.beachpsych.com/pages/cc60.html

Extractions: Adoption Issues by Marlou Russell,Ph.D. In the old days, adoption was considered an unspeakable family secret that was shrouded in shame. Today prospective parents advertise with 800 numbers, pregnant women use the internet to place their babies up for adoption, and adoptees have a support group called Bastard Nation. Despite this apparent openness in adoption, there is still a great need for adoption issues to be addressed. Emotional Issues The adoption triad consists of the adoptee, the birth parents, and the adoptive parent or parents. All three are necessary and forever connected, whether or not they ever meet. The emotional issues that occur at the time of an adoption will continue to resurface and weave their way through a triad member's life. Seemingly simple questions can trigger the adoption-related feelings. A birth mother is asked how many kids she has...A physician asks an adoptee if cancer runs in the family...a parent is asked why the two children look so different. Adoption has lifelong impact for each triad member. In therapy the most common issues are feelings of lack of control, shame and embarrassment, rejection and abandonment, identity and roles, secrecy and honesty. Loss is an inevitable part of adoption. The structure of adoption is such that to create an adoptive family, a birth family must be separated and adoptees lose their biological ties.

Marketing 101 Being pro-adoption does not mean advocating adoption in 100% of unplanned pregnancies. by Anne Pierson and Paula Smith Adoption has experienced a major setback as abortion has moved to the top of the list of solutions for unwanted pregnancies. A 1999 survey of pregnancy centers, maternity homes, and other pro-life organizations by Loving and Caring, Inc. revealed that 82% of respondents provide adoption referrals and counseling. However, 59% reported that 5 or fewer clients per year placed a child in adoption. Some counselors report they do not feel confident in their ability to present adoption information, while others do not have confidence in adoption itself as a sound option. Counselors should examine their own attitudes toward adoption. Clients will detect negativity. Being pro-adoption does not mean advocating adoption in 100% of unplanned pregnancies. Being pro-adoption simply means having an understanding of the benefits of adoption for the child, the birth parents, the adoptive parents, and society.

Because school is such an important aspect of children's lives, adoptive parents, like all parents, want their child's school experience to be a positive one. When your child has a problem at school, you might find yourself wondering: Is this a problem related to adoption, or is it a "generic" developmental, educational, or school system problem common to all children? Texas Looking to adopt? Pregnant? This factsheet will look at three areas. The first is how adoption impacts a youngster in school. We will discuss if, when, how, and why to talk about adoption with school personnel. Second, we will examine some specific educational problems that are common to adopted children and how to advocate for the educational and support services that they might need. Third, we will suggest ways to help students, teachers, principals, and other school personnel to become more sensitive to adoption issues. At the end of this factsheet there is an information sheet on positive adoption language that can be given to school personnel. There is also a resource section that provides names of consultants with expertise in adoption and school issues, adoption training curricula and programs, relevant audiovisual materials, and a bibliography.

Search Berkeley Parents Network Reviews > Therapist for Adoption Issues Therapist for Child with Reactive Attachment Disorder Weighing adoption vs. donor eggs Related page: Therapist for Infertility and Pregnancy Loss Related page: Attachment Disorder Feb. 2003 Can anyone recommend a good therapist who works with children/adoptees who have mild RAD (reactive attachment disorder)? I have a daughter with RAD and we both have been seeing Debra Bartenstein (633-1563) who has been very helpful. I can recommend her highly. Additionally, I found the ''only'' two therapists in the Bay Area who are truly specialized in RAD. I would recommend calling them too. They are Virginia Keeler Wolf at 510-339-9363 and Susan Love who's number I cannot find but she should be in the phone book and Virginia Keeler-Wolf has her number too. Just another note: I found RAD workshops extremely helpful. Unfortunately very little is offered in the Bay Area, but CATTE in the Sacramento Area puts on workshops regularly and they are excellent (and affordable). Also, PACT is putting on a workshop on attachment soon so you might want to give them a call. If you'd like to talk some more or maybe even have playdates with a comfortable RAD mom, call me. Best wishes.

Extractions: Summer 2001 VOL. 31 NO.2 Among Canadians there is a general lack of awareness about adoption, despite the fact that a large percentage of the population is involved in some way. Dialogue is needed with First Nations people over child welfare issues. Some people are against placing First Nations children with white adoptive parents even when no other parents are available. This concern must be weighed against the consequences for the child of being moved from home to home and possibly never having a permanent family. Transracial adoption and parenting require special consideration of the issues around racial and cultural identity. Children adopted internationally have special needs due to institutionalization, abandonment and cultural differences. Adoptive parents, whether they adopt within Canada or internationally, should have access to training in how to meet the special needs of their adopted child.
