"These people" means exactly that, I am talking about two specific individuals that were either unwilling or unable to provide even the most basic postive home environment. I don't know where you pulled that cultural inferrence from, but that is your issue not mine. I have no idea what your mother did to you, but I am not she so that comment was lost completely on me.

Amy's mother happens to be Native American, her father happens to be Polish. Neither, in my opinion, affect their ability to be parents. Her mother happened to have a knack for picking absolute losers to have children with, I don't see a pattern regarding their race, culture, or religion.

My husband also happens to be Native American and is by far the best father I have ever met. I do not believe that has anything to do with his genetic or cultural heritage but because he is a kind, loving, responsible human being.

Not everyone can be a parent. It has nothing what-so-ever to do with culture, race, social-economic status, education, religion, sexual orientation or what ever other blanket generalization out there.

And for the record, no I do not think that either of them should have been allowed to have kids. And between the two of them they had 11. When they did, it is my opinion that SOMEONE should have stepped in and removed them from their care to give those kids a fighting chance. I don't care if that someone was the Tribe in the case of the mother or the state in the case of the father. Amy is the youngest of the 11. You cannot tell me that no one knew before that time that neither of these people were equiped to care for children.
