[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP that brought up your "white trash" comment. There's a special place in my heart for the foster-adopt parents, so I totally believe you're coming from a good place. But another suggestion is, if you don't already, get to know some of the background of the culture the child comes from. Not just whatever dysfunctional family it may be, but the GOOD parts of that culture. I come from an area that gets maligned as "white trash" a lot. In reality, there are a lot of truly hard-working, charitable, smart and kind people who have created decent lives for themselves out of next to nothing. And many of them have lived or do live in trailers. If this is where she came from, she should be raised to be proud of her background and know that there are good people who come from there.[/quote]
