Abstract [en]

International adoptees share the experience of unwanted separations as well as exposure to racism. Previous research has had a gernral focus on adoptees´infancy, childhood and adolescense rather than adoptees in adulthoos, which makes adoptees´own contrbiutions and voice in research insufficient. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the decolonization of international adoptees, which is considered by the choice of the study´s method, semi-structured interviews. The study´s chosen theoretical concepts are for example, hooks (1981, 1984, 1989), critical race theory, racial fetisch and the script theory from Simon & Gagnon (1986). This study reveals that the sexual and reproductive health of adoptees is largely influenced by structural racism as well as internalized norms, which cause problems between the different script levels. The knowledge gained from this study is epected to be of impotrance to people in the care sextor, as well as people owrking with aodptees; because it is important to understand and explore the lived experience of adoptees, from their own perspective. This study is conducted in a Swedish context but is relevant in a wider environment as the chosen area is currently very unresearched.
