Further Update

After reviewing the information that I'd collected from my interviews/research, my goal changed somewhat. Instead of making a video profiling a single guardianship case, I will end up posting a lengthy yet detailed and very information audio clip in which attorney Ann Benjamin explains the process, from beginning to end, of a guardian case. She includes several interesting anecdotes about her own experiences with these sorts of cases. That will be a major part of the blog. Also, for the video, I will post a sort of portrait of the Children's Court. Ann gave some great information on the differences between the Federal/County courts and the Children's and many of the reasons behind that. She also talks about the experience of what it's like to be in the Children's Court and some of the theory behind how it was created. That will serve as the audio track for the video, along with scenes of the court itself - outside, inside, or both. Again, I am still working through sorting out the Question & Answer section. Since Ann is my major source of information and research, I want to make sure what I include will be the most helpful to those unaware of this aspect of the legal side of foster care. Also, I will be scanning some of the legal guardianship documents that Ann gave me and putting them up on the blog.
