Proficient description English:
The Adoption Privacy Protection Group Inc. has no paid staff. During business hours throughout the year, phones are answered by trained volunteers who provide, without any charge or membership requirements, information support and referral services. APPG Inc. is financed by unsolicited membership fees, donations and fund raising activities. In 1990 following a groundswell of public opinion against the retrospective opening of confidential Adoption records, the Adoption Privacy Protection Group Inc. was formed. APPG Inc. provided a continuous telephone answering service for those in need of assistance. APPG Inc. has received over 5000 calls from Queensland citizens seeking help. Systematic documentation of each incoming telephone call, in a non-identifying form has provided valuable data for analysis. Annually, the categories of callers, the content and nature of these incoming calls are classified. This analysis provides valuable information regarding the effects on the community of the retrospective opening of adoption records. Independent researchers and academics have expressed interest in these findings.
