Kristine Freeark is a clinical psychologist with both research and clinical interests in adoptive family relationships and their impact on children's well-being.   She co-directs a program of research focused on family factors related to the social and emotional adjustment of young children in internationally adoptive families.   This research seeks to identify protective factors in the adoptive family, particularly in the area of parent-child communication about adoption, their co-constructed processing of adoption information, and related emotions.   She has also developed a workshop curriculum (Inquisitive Minds) for adoptive parents of young children that translates developmental knowledge and an understanding of family dynamics into information and activities for parents.   The workshop prepares parents to assist their children in communicating constructively about adoption to enhance family belonging and a positive adoptive identity. Dr. Freeark is interested in dissemination of empirically-informed materials and practices to parents and adoption professionals.   She has also designed and directed the Latino Photojournalism Project, an approach that engages adolescents in exploring transnational and transracial adoptive identity through photography and interviewing; this innovative demonstration project has been funded both by adoption agencies and by the University of Michigan's Arts of Citizenship program.
