re: BR teacher adopts student - then starts GoFundMe

she can’t pay for their education

As a EBR public school teacher she should know that education is free. I'll send her a couple of #2 pencils for her " crew" LOL

I actually knew her fairly well before she started collecting black kids.

24 year old single female elementary school teacher adopts not one but two boys and then realizes she can’t pay for their education. Well no shite. Young teachers can barely support themselves.

Young and naive, but her heart is in the right place.

So before anyone starts bitching about this guided, but not well-thought out plan of hers, remember this:



and ask yourself, of all the GoFundMe accounts, which one didn't deserve any money and which one actually does?

could you please adopt a better online personna?

So she's thinking...maybe he won't turn me in if he lives with me?

Still, that's a lotta work for the next few years for some BBC.

As strict as adoption rules are I'm surprised this went through without knowing of her financial situation.

GoFundMe is so overused it's not even funny.

It's essentially a place to collect payments for whatever reason you'd like. It's never been explicitly for disasters and stuff.

my guys in Vegas tell me that the smart money is on "the kids were never legally adopted" The first clue was that she would not have the coin to even afford the adoption process for one American kid, much less two.

It's possible she could have done a private adoption through something like CASA which would keep her costs down significantly.

First, adopting older children, especially those that are more “challenging”, and keeping siblings together is an amazing thing for anyone to do. Those children are better off in her home than in the system even if she needs assistance to raise them. She could have fostered them and received a monthly allowance from the state to help cover some costs but that wouldn’t provide the stability and emotional support those kids might need.

Second, she’s asking private citizens to donate funds for their education. She not asking for tax dollars which they probably qualify for anyway if she can show they are developmentally or educationally behind. I support and private citizen requesting and receiving private donations to meet children’s needs. I always prefer private donations over tax dollars.

Third, by taking these kids in and providing a stable home environment that values education, she is doing society a very real service. Her investment in those kids will likely be the difference between them receiving subsidies over their lifetime or being self-reliant contributors to society.
