Adoption research is a multi-disciplinary field that focuses on understanding the processes and outcomes of adopting children, animals, technologies, and innovations. This area of research seeks to explore the factors that influence the decision to adopt, the challenges and benefits of adoption, and the impact of adoption on individuals, families, and societies. Adoption research may involve studying the psychological, social, legal, and ethical aspects of adoption, as well as examining the implications of different adoption practices and policies. By gaining a better understanding of adoption, researchers aim to improve adoption processes, support adoptive families, and promote positive outcomes for those involved in adoption.
