10 things not to say to someone who is a resource parent

1. Are they all yours? Seriously people, If you do not know and its not your business don't ask.... Now after the question is asked the parents have to explain and the children feel belittle because of their cirmcumstances... Just wait more an likely they will tell you in ways the children will be able to feel normal through it all
2. Are you sure you can handle it? 1st of all God would not have put them in their lives. 2nd of all they are already freaking out, so be positive and encouraging
3. Well thats not a money maker... Are you kidding me. Do you honestly think we do this for the money? Your right not a money maker, but it is help;ing wonderful children who deserve Gods love
4. You don't have to keep them? Seriously you look in their eyes and tell them they are not worthy of your home
5. Are you sure you want to adopt them? Of course I do... Why would I have them in my home if I didn't. They deserve a good home just like you got!
6. Tell the resource parent you look like you have too many kids and you don't know what to do. Who are you? Seriously have you helped the resource parent, if not be encouraging and help. These kids deserve a full energized mom.
7. Ask the mom if she has been messing with the milkman while her husband is right their. Stop being hurtful what if she did cheat on her husband, don't you think it would have hurt her feelings or possibly the children. (for all you reading no I didn't)
8. Are you sure bi-racial children should be adopted by your family? Are we not in the 21st century? Why does color of skin matter? These kids are beautiful and have so much potential in life to be wonderful people...
9. Chew the mom out for not having enough room in their house for them all when you have never even been to their home. Well the state decides how many children they can have in their home and actually for all of you I have room for one more according to them. (no plans to fill it either) Our house is actually huge compared to where they have come from!
10. Tell your kids all about the situation. They do not need to know. More an likely your kids will say things to the resource kids. How do you think they are going to feel? They just want to feel normal or as normal as possible given their situation.

Sorry if I have offended anyone, I just want people think before you open your mouths. Your mouth is the most powerful portion of your body. I know I have used it for the wrong unfortunately. It can either build up or discourage people. Use it for God's glory!!! The resource parents are going through alot already, Encourage Them!
