Are there any studies or ongoing research projects on adoptees who have found full siblings late in life and their interactions/commonalities?

I was adopted into a violent, alcoholic, and very abusive family. The state did nothing even after the school counselor called CPS when I came to school with a swollen face. The adoptive mother continued to abuse me until I cut her off in my mid 30s. I've heard many other similar stories. It's funny how adoptive parents are vetted with even a quarter of the scrutiny that the state uses to target parents.

Hi Traci,
I saw your comment. There is a therapy practice that I really like that serves adult adoptees. It helps with managing the grief and trauma. I'm not sure it would interest you, but if it does --you should check out the clinical practice at CASE --The center for adoption support and education.
