“…Based on a literature review and content analysis, six categories were extracted for adoption attributes, including, (1) social and legal adoption (Akin et al, 2004; Tajudeen, 2013), (2) transfer of child's rights from biological parents to adoptive parents (Palacios, Adroher, et al, 2019; Stephanidis et al, 2019; Tajudeen, 2013), (3) effects of cultural and religious beliefs (Anthony et al, 2019; Bilson & Munro, 2019; Dip, 2018; Nachinab et al, 2019), (4) a method for childbearing and family strength (Dip, 2018; Neil, 2012; Ye et al, 2019), (5) role of age and duration of adoption (Kaakinen et al, 2018), and (6) adoption paradox (Foli et al, 2013; Palacios, Adroher, et al, 2019; Soares et al, 2019). The categories obtained in this phase are listed in Table 3 along with some of the concepts extracted from other studies.…”

“…Adoption consequences can include creating a sense of security and peace, experiencing family life and enjoying a chance to find a positive life path, and finally improving the quality of life of the adoptee (AN, 2018; Bilson & Munro, 2019; Paine et al, 2021; Soares et al, 2019). In addition to the positive consequences reported in some studies, adoption is associated with some challenges and problems such as problems in the family and social relationships (Fisher, 2015; Neil, 2012), parents’ anxiety and concerns about unpreparedness (Akin et al, 2004; Forbes & Dziegielewski, 2003) and confrontation with social stigma and misconceptions about adoption (Foli et al, 2013; Forbes & Dziegielewski, 2003).…”

“…The paradox of adoption was another finding, indicating that adoption has both positive and negative consequences, and negative consequences and challenges associated with adoption underline the importance of parental realism for selecting an adoptee and making an informed choice, as evidenced in the literature review. Enjoying the parenting experience and a purposeful life and consolidating the family were the most important positive consequences while the social stigma and concerns about telling the truth about adoption, the possible diseases, and the financial burden were the most important negative consequences of adoption (Foli et al, 2013; Lauver, 2010; Nachinab et al, 2019).…”

Background Adoption is a multidimensional concept affected by cultural and social factors. On the other hand, the number of adoptees has recently increased indicating the need to pay more attention to this issue. However, no clear definition of this concept has been provided so far. Objective The objective of this study was to analyze the concept of adoption. Methods The present study was an analysis using a hybrid model in three phases. During the theoretical phase, using the keyword “adoption,” pertinent articles published between 2010 and 2022 were searched. In the field work phase, eight adoptive parents as the participants were interviewed and the data were analyzed using conventional content analysis method. In the final analysis phase, a general analysis of the two previous phases was performed and a final definition was presented. Results Adoption is one of the ways of having children that helps infertile couples to experience parental pleasure. If adoption is done wisely based on the abilities of parents, it can provide the best care setting for the child's growth leading to the consolidation of the family and a purposeful life. In adoption, all of the rights and responsibilities of the child are transferred from the biological parents to the adoptive parents, which is affected by religious and cultural beliefs. Conclusion The analysis of the concept of adoption provided a good basis for identifying the various dimensions of adoption and its challenges. The parents need to pay attention to all dimensions of adoption before selecting this path. It also provided a good platform for future research in the field of adoption.

“…21 This education would also allow nurses to be better equipped in providing insight for cancer patients who presume adoption is a failsafe method to having a family, or for survivors who seek adoption and are uninformed about the process. Nurses serve as educators, advocates, reporters, and information gatherers who continually evolve with the needs of their patients.…”

Background Little is known about the rate at which cancer survivors successfully adopt a child or about their experiences negotiating a costly, and perhaps discriminatory, process regarding the prospective parent's health history. The current study describes the results of a learning activity where nurses contacted an adoption agency to learn more about the process for survivors with the goal of helping nurses provide patients with accurate information for making a well-informed decision regarding adoption. Methods Training program participants identified an adoption agency (local, state, or international) and conducted an interview using a semi-structured guide. Following the interview, participants created a summary of responses to the questions. We examined responses to each question using qualitative content analysis. Results Seventy-seven participants (98% completion rate) across 15 states provided a summary. Responses were distributed across these categories: adoption costs; steps required for survivors seeking adoption; challenges for survivors seeking adoption; birth parents’ reservations; and planned institutional changes to increase adoption awareness. The majority of respondents reported improving their knowledge of adoption and cancer, increased challenges for survivors, and the need to educate patients about the realities of adoption policies. The need for a letter stating the survivor was five years cancer-free was identified as a significant obstacle for survivors. Conclusion Nurses are charged with following practice guidelines that include recommendations for appropriate reproductive health referrals. Cancer survivors would benefit from a healthcare provider who can provide education and concrete information when patients are making a decision about fertility and adoption.
