Adopted TCKs Research Questionnaire
I am currently doing research into the impact of being a Third Culture Kid (TCK) on perceived self identity in adopted children and how this impact might show itself.  There is a fairly large body of research detailing the struggles of TCKs, but very little of it looks at the added layer of being adopted.  Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey as I begin collecting data to focus this research.  An initial presentation for other international school counselors was created and presented in Bangkok, March 2018.  The ongoing data collection will inform future presentations and possible publication.  This survey is anonymous.  However, if you would be open to being contacted for more information, or if you would like to see the data compiled, please feel free to provide your email and name.

If you have more than one adopted child, when filling out the survey, please be thinking of only one of your children.  If you are willing to complete the survey multiple times for multiple children, that would be amazing, but I am aware that would be asking a lot in terms of time from you so please do not feel pressure.  

Thank you again for your valuable input into this research.
Sincerely,
Lynn Kogelmann
Adoptive Mother and International School Counselor
