Purpose:
        Ask
        an Expert has two purposes:
        
          1) to provide direct support to
          stepfamilies in search of information and advice, and
          2) to develop a searchable
          library of questions and answers that will be helpful for other
          stepfamilies.
        
        How Ask an Expert Works:
        
          - Our stepfamily Experts will choose to 
          reply to one question each week from all of the
            questions submitted to Ask an Expert during that week. Questions
            that apply to stepfamilies in general, are much more likely to be
            selected than those that are highly specific to an individual
            stepfamily.
- After
            all identifying information has been removed, the questions
            selected--along with the answers provided--will be entered into a
            searchable library and will be made available to other stepfamilies
            visiting the Stepfamily Foundation of Alberta website.
- In order to create a library
            that our visitors will find attractive, we encourage all users of
            this service to submit their questions as video files or audio
            files. However, we will also accept questions submitted in other
            formats (e.g., fax, email, post, etc.) as well.
