It was a foster family before her adoptive family.

Sounds like AshLee found a great family after a rough start. Glad she found her family. That story redeemed her some in my eyes. Helps you understand where she is coming from better.

He loves to White Knight it out as much as possible in a 24 hour period.

In her intro (the first show) she said she was in a ton of foster families. I'm assuming it was one of those that was abusive.

Ultimately she was adopted by a pastor's family. That was who she was speaking lovingly about I assume.

I take back the part about her redeeming herself, she really annoyed me at the night part of the date. Saying she is falling with him after 1 date, opening up about her sob story for the first time to a guy, tears, and no real physical heat. It actually kind of reminded me of Emily and Brad.

for sure. It's not a bad thing, but it might explain why he chooses who he chooses in the end.

No, she said her foster family was abusive, her adoptive seems to be very loving.

Thank you!! missed the foster family part

Nope, one of her foster homes before she was adopted at age 6. I still don't really like her much, still she is falling in love really quick, not a fan.

Wasn't one of his final 4 married young? is that what it is? White Knight Syndrome? just hope he doesn't start talking about guarding and protecting their hearts....

That was AshLee as well.
