PEAR Observational Survey of Adoptive Parents
on Success, Satisfaction and Types of Post-Adoption Services (POSitive Study)

(POSitive study closed August 28, 2009 - Results being compiled)

This survey is for those who have completed an Adoption (Domestic or International/Inter-country). Whether your child has had many issues or interventions, or none, we would like your input!

The survey is in English and it is one survey per child. It will take between 20 and 40 minutes to complete. IMPORTANT: In order to keep your answers anonymous, the system will NOT allow you to return to a partially-completed survey.

Sections include:
  • Demographics
  • Adoption Professional Follow-Up;
  • Financial and Life Insurance;
  • International Adoption Clinic and Medical Doctor Follow-Up;
  • Early Intervention Services(US only);
  • Mental Health/Attachment Services;
  • Faith-Based services;
  • School-based services;
  • Testing, Therapies and At-Home interventions;
  • Final comment and information section.

POSitive Survey Plan of Action:
  • Informing the Adoptive Parent Community: Starts in 2009 shortly after launching survey and will be ongoing. Information will be shared about explanations of interventions and practical tips. 
  • Bringing different health care sectors together to solve gaps brought up in survey. Begins 2009 and will be ongoing.
