Adoption research requires special research methodologies and often runs into roadblocks due to current law and privacy concerns. Adoption has been practiced in New England since colonial times with various outcomes. In this talk, historic context will be presented along with cultural attitudes. Genealogical research, practice, current topics, record access issues and legislation will also be explored.
