The experiences and the stories of adopted individuals cannot be understood apart from the social context that shapes them. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used as the aim of this study was to assess the impact of the adoption of dominant social discourse on adoptees. Four themes relating to the aims of the current research emerged from the data: (1) adoptees' deviant construction of themselves, (2) experiences of invalidation and marginalization, (3) rationalization of adoption, and (4) adoption-related un-acknowledged losses. This study's results show that participants' individualized and/or societal distressing experiences can be considered within the context of minority stress. For clinical and counseling purposes it is important to understand whether these minority identities result in extra social stresses as a result of their social stigma.
被收养者的经历和故事离不开塑造这些经历和故事的社会背景，因而无法孤立地去理解。本研究采用解释现象学分析方法，因为其目的是评估主流社会话语对被收养者的影响。从数据中得出了与当前研究目的相关的四个主题：（1）被收养者对自身的偏差建构；（2）被忽视和边缘化的经历；（3）收养的合理化；（4）与收养相关的未被承认的损失。本研究结果表明，参与者的个体化和/或社会痛苦经历可在少数群体压力的背景下加以考量。出于临床和咨询目的，了解这些少数群体身份是否因其社会污名而导致额外的社会压力非常重要。
