The Red River Valley needs more resources for foster parents to care for culturally and diverse children, a foster parent says.
Jill Sherbrooke said it took awhile to figure out that her 7-year-old foster child is Muslim and shouldn’t have pork or marshmallows, for example.
“We have no idea even where to go, how to help her learn about her background, her culture, her religion,” Sherbrooke said last week of the girl, who is from Liberia.

I'll take "zero to none" for five hundred, L.D.
First I ever heard muslims don't like marshmallows...
And if a 7 year old child is Christian will they avoid placing the kid with a homosexual couple?
When in Rome.
Do the child a favor and get him away from that death cult now.
Perhaps it’s why the Muslim children are so angry...no marshmallows...:(
“That is a detriment to us because we don’t have those homes,” she said.
The horror of being raised in a "white" home finally exposed /sarc.
Marshmallows??!
Why don’t you raise her like a Christian child with good character? Pork or no pork, that is not the real problem here. Her past is behind her — give her the opportunity of a FUTURE here in America.
Good... until the beheading.
Oh, for goodness sake, worrying about her parents’ religion isn’t the first priority, here; she ended up in foster care. Love the child, care for the child, provide for the child. That’s what matters. A little instruction in Christianity would do her good, too.
Give her a ham sandwich and a Smores and watch her enjoy what life has to offer.
gelatine is used to make marshmallows. Gelatine is made from animal products either cow or pig. Unless it has a kosher seal it is most likely from pig.
I wonder where the Muslim parents are.
I believe marshmallows may not be eaten is because they are made from gelatin, much like jello, which is made from animal products, I dont know if it pork tho.. I am quite sure it is beef...
Oh, I didn’t know. I always thought marshmallows were just magic. I didn’t realize they had actual ingredients! ;)
susie
Mo money for bs.
Oh come on, no marshmellows - what the hell is wrong with these islamic fascists?
Like they would really care if the child were Buddhist and they would take pains to bring it up as Buddhist.
