Research for the EliA project is in full swing: field access has started successfully. We have been able to connect with professionals in adoption agencies and have already gained exciting insights through our preliminary discussions. We have also explored potential connections to adoption applicants and have now established our first contacts. The project has met with broad interest on both sides. The first interviews have been arranged for the coming weeks and we are looking forward to the upcoming discussions!
