Prompt Responses:
Adoptees were invited to respond to a prompt(s), sharing their feelings on abortion as an adoptee.
I contacted adoptees worldwide through online adoptee groups, organizations, and discussion forums and participants responded to the prompts via Instagram, WhatsApp and email.
Prompts:
1. As an adoptee how do you feel about the issue of abortion?
2. How do you feel being adopted has affected your opinion on abortion?
3. Many adoptees have been asked "Aren't you glad you weren't aborted?", what is your response to that?
4. Have you ever felt like your experience of being an adoptee has been misrepresented or used to advance a certain rhetoric? How does this make you feel?
5. Can you talk about a time when you felt pressured to have an opinion on abortion?
