The other question that really stood out in my mind was "women prefer rich men over poor men when it comes to getting married." For me, I do not understand how a woman can honestly be that selfish to marry someone rich instead of someone that she loves. I believe that love is a great gift and to waste that on someone who is rich is selfish and needy. If you really loved someone money wouldn't even be an issue.

Wuthering Heights (Anticipation Guide)
In response to the first question on the anticipation guide "an adopted or foster child will never be accepted as a 'real' member of a family", I think it is completely horrible to think that a foster child is not part of a family. First of all, if a foster child lives in a foster home without an actually family such as brothers and sisters, it doesn't mean that they do not have a family. The people that surround them, like their fellow foster brothers and sisters, are all part of one family together. Even if you are in a foster home, you will always have a family. The definition of a family is having people who support you and who love you through every good and bad time throughout your life. Why need a "real" family when you are happy with those who care about you the most? Also, if a child is adopted, they are welcomed into a new family and a new life for them to branch off of. The family who adopts these children accept them for who they are and that is part of being in a family, accepting those who you love and who you are loved by.

Hey Danielle! I really liked what you wrote in your blog and the two statements you chose. I too was going to write about "an adopted or foster child will never be accepted as a 'real' member of a family", but opted not to. You on the other hand did an excellent job and hit all the points I would have. I think that you are dead on saying that for a foster child, their surroundings are their family whom are with them through the good and the bad. When I read this statement there was no question in my mind that I would put false and knew exactly why. And for an adopted child of course they will become a “real” member of a family. I think it is terrible to think otherwise. I mean I can’t relate and am just going off what I think and feel about the question. I liked the second statement you chose to write about as well. Jen did a blog on this too and I commented saying very similar things as you did. While many people will disagree with us saying all women look for the man to have money, I think that it is shallow to think that money is the most important thing in a relationship. Love is such greater gift than anything and like you said if you really love the person, money will not even cross your mind.
Danielle!!
So, I basically agree with everything you said. It doesn't matter if someone was born into a family or taken in. As long as they are around people who love them and care for them, then they ARE part of that family. Also, I also think that it is completely selfish and horrible to marry someone for what is in their wallets, and not what's in their hearts (wowowow that was completely cheesy). Woman should marry whomever they want because they'll just be happier in the long run.
