Interview Process
For my course project, I have been interviewing two women who know and are living with adoption. This connections that we have built through these interviews is great. One female I have interviewed I have known for many years as I taught her oldest adopted child. The interview process has allowed our relationship to grow and for me to get a glance into her life and the lives of her children. So far I have learned that boys are so different than girls and that sometimes boys can be more sensitive than girls. Another interview is with a lady who works with adoption daily. The calling to be an adoptive parent is a strong calling and those that listen can and will make a difference in the life of a child. I look forward to discussing more with my interviewees and dgaining more knowledge into their lives and the lives of adopted children into homes of difference race and culture.

I have never personally been involved in the adoption process, but I have a friend you has adopted two children over the past several years. The joy and love that she and her husband has for them is amazing, and they have flourished as a family. Adoption I'm sure is a very difficult process, however, with all individuals involved. I would be interested to know how long was the woman who adopted her children in the adoption process before finally being allowed to adopt a child? I have often heard that it can take years to adopt a child, and I have often wondered if this was true. I look forward to hearing more about what you have learned.

Thank you for your reply. Yes I have some very close friends who adopted from Russia. This was a long process, but in the end was worth it. I believe that depending on where the adoption takes place determines the time periods. As I gain more information I will let you know. Thank you for your questions and your interest in my topic.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right; people who answer the call certainly will make a difference in the life of a child. I can imagine that there are many challenges for both adoptive parents and for the children. How interesting that you have found the boys to be more sensitive. I would have assumed the opposite to be true. I can't wait to read you work!
