Module 6 Assignment

        The interview process that I have gone through for this assignment has been pretty uneventful up until this point.  Once I read the assignment I began to think of who would be candidates for me to interview that were knowledgeable about the topic of foster and adoptive children and their experiences around stress, risk and trauma.  I had a small point of confusion after doing our organization assignment and wasn’t sure if my interviews would be the people I had considered originally or if had to choose one from the organizations I reviewed.  Once I clarified this with Professor Bossier, I was able to get back on track. 

        The two individuals I have chosen to interview are both center directors that work with the population I am studying.  As I came up with the questions I thought of things I have previously spoken with them about and what new information I will want to get.  Scheduling wasn’t much of a problem.  However, I will have to understand that we will meet while they are in their centers and there could be various interruptions.  Both of the interviews are scheduled for this upcoming week.

        My course project is on children from foster and adoptive homes.  I have been doing research from different aspects of this topic, like how the community sees it and how they are affected by stress.  One large challenge I have had while completing the research is that the term “adoption” and other versions of the term result in many forms of the word that have nothing to do with children once I search the word.  I have had to be creative while doing my searches.
