focus group conducted for media

2.  I conducted a focus group with a group of
prospective adopopters to find out what they
would like to see within the documentary, not
everybody spoke however there were a few
important things they said they would like to
see.

3.  They said the following things:
 People said they thought it would be useful to have examples of what they should
do and what they should not do in certain stages of the adoption process they
also said they would like to know a brief history of adoption
 Ben said that he thought it would be useful to have tips and advice regarding
each stage of the process. (a lot of nodding and agreement occurred)
 Most people also said that they wanted most of the focus to be on the
assessment part of the process
 Karen said she would like to have a young adopted person or somebody who had
been through the process to present the documentary.(more nodding in a
agreement)
 However some of the other people said they would prefer to have a professional
within adoption system. (mixed reactions)
 Chris said he would like to have a social worker talking in the documentary.

4.  I got 20 people to do the following questionnaire:
