Here are some of the misconceptions I have experianced when dealing with the public.
******All little girls come into care sexually molested/damaged*******
********What is wrong with those foster kids? Don't they know they should be grateful and happy, now that they are in your home?********
(these kids DO love and miss their parents)
********Foster children are dumb and under achievers. Nothing but schoolastic disasters and socially inept.*********
*******Don't adopt the foster children...they will turn out just like their biological parents - it's in the genes******
OOOOOO!!!! This one burns my fat, hairy tushie!
*****Foster parents are in it for the money*****
(yeah, right - people who run day care in Metro Detroit get more money for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, than I do for 24 hour care)!
I can not believe how simple and narrow minded some people (and family members) can be!
God Bless 'em in their ignorance, cuz I sure can't!
