1) I am interested in looking further into the perspective of the
adoptee on “powerlessness” in response to the book I read by Sherrie Eldridge
called “Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew.” I am
interested to see if this feeling of powerlessness is fairly common among
adoptees. Eldridge had a very negative outlook on adoption so I am interested
in seeing if that is a shared feeling or if she is over exaggerating.
2) I think the main ethical concept for this topic would be
oppression, specifically powerlessness. I could also look into the rights of
the adoptee in regards to different issues like open adoption.
3) I know a few different people who were adopted, so I was thinking
of interviewing them to get their perspectives and then possibly trying to find
a few other memoirs from adoptees on the same topic. I also know some families
who have younger kids that they adopted so I could also ask them about
different ideas that their children have shared with them.
4) 5. I think this would be very interesting to look into more, but
it could be a bit too broad.
5) If I don’t end up with this as my topic, I was also possibly
interested in transracial adoption.
