In fact, the social worker for our homestudy for adoption mentions the struggles I overcame due to the cultural differences I experienced as an Ethio-American child in "gifted" classrooms at a time when Habashas were few in California. <BR/><BR/>Again, I thank you Valerie for your voice that is my voice and that is the voice of so many children of Color.<BR/><BR/>May the LORD continue to shine HIS Grace and Favor on you!Jebenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211609819656229230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777751243790275861.post-80603406078872587462008-08-27T17:56:00.000-07:002008-08-27T17:56:00.000-07:00Hi Valerie,I read through all of your posts on thi...Hi Valerie,<BR/><BR/>I read through all of your posts on this subject on your blog. Had lots of responses, many just like I can't believe that, except that I do. It's not that I would ever question what you are saying but that some of the things are so stunning in their stupidity. Really. I should stop feeling so surprised but I still do. As usual, I learned a lot from your posts and appreciate you taking the time to put your experiences on a public forum so I can access them. Thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>AmberAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08725945095669367563noreply@blogger.com
