The purpose of this research study conducted by Sharon Judge, Ph.D., Associate Professor, University of Tennessee, is to examine how children adopted from Eastern European countries successfully adapt and adjust to their new home environment. This recently announced survey is looking at the phenomenon commonly referred to as Post Adoption Depression. Many adoptive parents experience depression after their children are finally home but are surprised and disturbed by their feelings. The statistics collected will be part of an article to be published at the EEAC website and our findings will be available to adoption agencies for parent preparation. We would like to assure our many friends that this new status will not mean any change in our services regarding our free mailing lists or other unique, groundbreaking offerings such as the Agency Registry or Buddy Registry.
Incorporation is the logical next step in a grassroots organization that has grown over four years.
We are happy to share this accomplishment with all of you and wish to thank you for being a part of our growth.
