Research
Erica is currently completing her Masters looking at the way in which Māori adoptees have formed their identity. This includes the differences in being raised by Māori or by non-Māori; what identity and ethnicity means to the adoptee; how the adoptee's immediate environment affects the formation of the adoptee's identity; how adoption has affected the adoptee throughout their own lives and their own families
