Adoptive Parents: Your help needed

– December 17, 2010Posted in: Research

From The Center for Adoption Support & Education:

Adoptive Parents: Please Help Us Learn About Counseling for Adoptive Families

Are you an adoptive parent who is about to begin or is interested in receiving counseling for your family or your adopted child?

If yes, you could be part of an exciting research project that could lead to improved services and resources for families like yours.

Participation would involve a total of 2 hours of your family’s time:

* one hour for you and your child to answer questionnaires prior to beginning counseling,
* and one hour for you and your child after completing counseling.

Participating families who complete the study will receive a total of $20 in gift certificates to Target.

Please consider helping the University of Maryland, Department of Psychology with this important study. For more information, contact Maria Wydra, M.A., at (443) 742-1041 or mwydra@psyc.umd.edu.
