They were adopted at 5 and 14. The 14 year old was in about 9 foster homes first. I know something of this trauma & keep thinking of ALL THOSE CHILDREN. It is horrendous and tragic. Thanks for this heart-rending poem. What a terrible week on top of all the other weeks.

For all of those trying to defend (really) this morally repugnant policy by saying it will keep people from making such a dangerous journey (and the journey is dangerous), I ask can you imagine the fear and horror you must be living it to think this journey with all its danger and no surety of success is the better option. I hope we remember that we are called to welcome these people and offer refuge.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210045352610490115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-58271147295405426732018-06-22T07:32:06.963-06:002018-06-22T07:32:06.963-06:00Jean is the anonymous!Jean is the anonymous!Jeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-66418513685755362902018-06-22T07:31:16.666-06:002018-06-22T07:31:16.666-06:00Thank you, Carol.
