A few friends have remarked that it will be a great vacation. And I understand that response. But it isn’t a vacation. It’s inter-generational healing. It’s a spiritual communion in a very sacred place. When and where I can, I will actively repair the harm of adoption to help my children. 🥚

This must be activating for a lot of people in your parish - and in other vulnerable communities. I struggle with my Catholic roots - big time - for all the obvious reasons as an adopted person. The culture of exploitation is central to the institution.
