"...If Moses' cultural and family history had been expunged by his adoption into Pharoah's household, how would he have known who he was to fulfill God's call to lead the Isrealites out of slavery?

The church must take the lead in calling for truth and ethics in adoption, including adoptee's right to birth identity." ~ Rich Uhrlaub ~

forgovernment-enforced segregation, including an acknowledgement
thatAfrican-Americans were 'humiliated, dehumanized, and subjected to the
indignityof being *stripped of their names and heritage*".. It begs the
question: Whatpart of depriving America's adoptees of their names and
heritage do peoplerefuse to acknowledge? ~ Priscilla Sharp ~
