Adopted trait and Honeyed Words trait

[jexen]

So I have searched and searched and cant figure it out. The Adopted Trait allows you to get a race trait from another race. In another tread I saw somebody suggest to get Honeyed Words with that trait. Now I put it into Hero Lab and it allowed me to do it and so I didnt think anything of it. Now my DM has pointed out that Honeyed Word is a religion trait and cant be taken with adopted but it comes from the Dwarves of Galorian book, which our copy of has disappeared somewhere. So this is a pretty basic question. Can I actually take Honeyed Words with the adopted trait or do I even need the adopted trait (it doesnt look to be racially specific on the pfsrd) and can I take it naturally. If it matters the character is neutral good, does worship Grundinar, and is an Elf.

Adopted allows you to take a Race Trait. If Honeyed Words is not a Race Trait, no need to take Adopted. If Honeyed Words has some other requirement that you don't fulfill, like being a diametrically opposed alignment, then you can't take it at all.

Why not just take Mediator from the Champions of Purity? It is exactly the same but no religious requirement.

Honeyed Words: "Benefit: You receive a +1 trait bonus on Diplomacy checks. In addition, you receive a +1 trait bonus to the DC of any charm or compulsion that does not provide ongoing control and results in peaceful acts, such as calm emotions, sleep, or a suggestion to lay down arms."
