Phase 3...

The first article I have chosen to use as a resource is
http://www.spsw.ox.ac.uk/fileadmin/documents/pdf/Cluver__Gardner__Operario_Pov_AIDS_Care.pdf.

This site’s credibility relies on a few different factors: 

One reason for credibility is that there are three known authors for this article.

Although this particular website does not discuss their credentials, after research we can find that the authors are trustworthy and qualified. 

This article used referenced many books in their research, and this article is found in a branch of Oxford’s website. 

Much of the information in this article is from results from a conducted survey. 

This article was published in 2008 and I believe its information is still helpful and useful for the direction of this research. 

The information present is relevant and it is helpful to see the results of this specific survey.

This article will be a helpful source as I continue to research the issue of the fatherless because of the truths shown in the results of the survey taken. One of the purposes of researching this was to look closer at the struggles faced by orphans, and this survey reveals some of those struggles.

The second article that was chosen was http://www.avert.org/aids-orphans.htm. 

This article’s credibility factors are:

Although the author is not listed, this article is a part of a site that seems to be a reputable non profit organization.

This article references many reputable sources that speak on orphans and similar topics that this article discusses.

This non profit site is free of advertising, and although a specific date is not stated, it seems that the most recent data that was compiled was information from 2010, which verifies its credibility.

This site’s time period and information covers what is needed for looking deeper into this issue.

I chose this article because, again, I felt as though the information that was brought forth covers much of what AID orphans may face. The wide variety of information from education, to the impact on households, and emotional impact will help me to see more of the depth of what they face and seek to begin to look the difficulties they may deal with.
