[QUOTE="buddy, post: 469720, member: 12886"] One of my dear friends is Lakota and she is a Mormon who homeschooled her kids and was a midwife and finished her degree, now working on her masters. Her mom, is a (the) tribal attorney and she too got her degree later in life. This woman is my hero. She was a foster parent to many (besides having her own kids) and her last is adopted (also Lakota) and he has a genetic disorder (they know now) and is in life threatening situations constantly. He is also autistic, rages, can be aggressive, etc. difficult child and I flew to visit them after meeting them online in an adoption support group. There are lovely traditions in their tribe and she said that adoption is valued almost more than birth children and they have a beautiful ceremony to name the children and bring them into the family. I contacted her on FB too to watch it. She sent a funny cartoon on Columbus day....it showed a bunch of native americans building a huge wall next to water....pilgrims were rowing boats toward the shore....the caption said something like, "we have to build this wall to keep these people from coming in here illegally" i thought that was great [/QUOTE]
