A blog about Late Discovery Adoptees
Here is a link to a revised version of my article “Late Discovery: Identity Shift and Recovery” presented at the 30th Annual Conference of the American Adoption Congress on March 29, 2008.
Ron Morgan discovered he was adopted in 1991 at the age of 36. In 1997 he coined the term Late Discovery Adoptee (LDA) to describe adoptees who discover their birth status as adults. Ron is a dedicated advocate for LDAs through the LateDiscovery Email List at Yahoogroups and the Late Discovery webpage at www.latediscovery.org. Ron can be reached at ronald@latediscovery.org
Here’s an email from Helen Riley regarding her excellent article on Late Discovery:
Hi all,
My article on the ethical implications of the late discovery of adoptive status was recently published in Family Relationships Quarterly (on-line). I have attached a PDF and included the URL below. I thought I would send it around – please don’t hesitate to forward on if you know anyone who might be interested.
