…nope. We aren’t talking about **outcasts** and we aren’t talking about **forgotten** people. We are talking about children who were stolen from families and communities, and those families and communities have **never ever** forgotten about them. They grieve for the children that were taken and never came home. Thousands disappeared into the system. The way you are characterizing this is completely inaccurate.
